The Peanut Factory in Edenton to host Detroit-based artist Gunning in November
The Peanut Factory, Edenton’s artist retreat and residency program, will host a ceramic artist whose work explores identity through clay, discarded objects and personal belongings. Nickie Gunning, an interdisciplinary artist based in metro Detroit, will be in residence from Nov. 15-28. During her stay, she will create artwork for an upcoming solo exhibition at the Mouse House Gallery in Detroit. Gunning, who also teaches art at community centers, said the chance to connect with a community is an important part of choosing a residency. “As an art teacher, community engagement is at the core of my character, so community-centered residencies allow me to educate no matter where I am,” Gunning said. “The Peanut Factory specifically combines my community interests with the space and time to develop new artistic concepts in a creative environment.” Gunning describes her work as sculptural self-portraiture, with forms inspired by the body’s movements and interactions. Rather than depicting a face or a conventional likeness, the pieces draw on her personal experiences, emotions and perceptions of identity. She constructs ceramic vessels and combines them with discarded items found nearby, along with cherished objects and personal belongings. The resulting assemblages address subjects such as gender identity, mental health,

A replica of the U.S. Capitol dome sits on the roof of a barbecue restaurant. Yes, a capitol dome. On a barbecue joint. The dome went up in 1984, a few years after National Geographic called the place the barbecue capital of the world. I like how the owners took that title literally and built a monument to prove it.
