UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, Features Works by Kara Bender

UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Portrait of an Infestation, featuring an exhibition of 12 paintings by UNC Asheville senior Kara Bender. The exhibit will be on view through May 6, 2008, at UNC Asheville's Highsmith University Union Gallery. The show is a culmination of Bender's work toward a bachelor of fine arts degree at UNC Asheville.
 
Bender's work focuses on imagery of a fly-infested home. "Throughout my life, I have found that the struggle with living in such conditions is to find beauty amidst the madness of the world," Bender said. "In the course of creating these pieces I have tried to convey the poetic beauty of a swarm of flies and maggots being juxtaposed by old paintings and photos, patinated tea sets and countless dusty, kitsch, ceramic knickknacks."
