western Carolinian Sea- y " l lire Tit' Offers a Surrealistic Memoryscape by Holly Rhodarmer Assistant Features Editor Memory can reveal itself in subtle ways. Childhood memories have a softness, often a bittersweet flavor which makes them as addictive as they are depressing. Connie Bostic revisits her childhood through her most recent exhibit "Fit," which will be on display in the Chelsea Gallery February 8-March 2, 2000. A reception open to the public will be held February 9, at 5pm. Bostic is a native of Spindale, NC. She earned her MA in painting at Western Carolina University in 1990. She has exhibited her work throughout the east coast, and in Germany. For this exhibit, Bostic selects sewing patterns, similar to those her mother used as a child, then superimposes images of herself and her five sisters when they were children. The result is ethereal and dreamy. Like a worn family album, they frame her childhood in instances: vulnerable characters acting out their roles in life. The patterns themselves cry out a history of their own. The 'Clamshell' sheer tissue paper whispers of a different time, when clothes were sewn at home by loved ones. Patterns were carefully selected, material chosen to suit the wearer. Then hours of labor later, the item is finished. Usually mothers or older sisters did the sewing. They developed a craft of their own, a skill they learned to wield beautifully. Their contribution to the family was an essential one. They turned their duty into an art. Bostic's choice of sewing patterns is symbolic. Its ancient look emphasizes memory. This serves as a sort of tribute, for the hours of seemingly unrewarded work. The children literally rise out of the plastered patterns, bringing to mind a memory on the verge of fading, still clinging, burning brightly before it disappears. The children are stiff and awkward, like dolls, shaped at irregular angles and frozen. It is a disturbing vision. Young girls, unaware of their fragile exististence, stand suspended in the pattern background. They are often accompanied by flowers, tree limbs, a cow and other domestic accoutrements. Though they are related both by family ties and by representation through the same medium, the children are isolated. Bostic is skillful. Her imagination is evident when walking through the gallery. She binds her phantom memories in boxes that perfectly enclose them. The flimsy patterns serve as a translucent barrier between the present and the past where these children lived. The children, dressed in 50s style clothing, are hol- low. They are not nearly as bothered by their forlorn situation as the viewer is. They are personal, simply because they are part of someone's (the artists') family. At the same time, they are universal. They offer a contrast between the simplicity of innocence, and the complexity of guilt. The innocence is of the child; the guilt is of the viewer. Looking at these works makes one feel voyeuristic and wrong. Like spying on a neighbor, or telling someone's secret. Transfixed there is no escape from these little girls, who fade into the background of old sewing patterns. The persistence of memory is a strong force. Her melding of two entities from her past is powerful and haunting. Bostic's effort and ingenuity have served her well. She has created a body of work that collages 'Trixie' emotions and fears, textures and media. The exhibit is profoundly disturbing but worthwhile. She takes painting and mixed media to a new level while exploring issues of memory, innocence lost and family. Theatre and Music Departments to Present 'Some Enchanted Evening' by Johnnie Mickel Staff Writer Western Carolina will soon be filled with the vocal sensations of some of theatre's most well known songs. The WCU Theatre Department, the WCU University Players and the WCU Music Department will be presenting the classic songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein in the musical production of "Some Enchanted Evening." Some Enchanted Evening DATE: February 10-13 LOCATION: Hoey Auditorium PRICE: $15 Adults $12.50 Senior Citizens "^ $5 Students y The play will consist of Rodgers and Hammerstein classics such as "The Sound of Music," "I Can't Say No," "Younger than Springtime," "I'm Gonna Wash that Man Right Out-a My Hair," and the title song, "Some Enchanted Evening," all in a theatrical setting. The play is directed by Steve Carlisle with musical direction by Mary Kay Bauer and is based on a concept by Jeffery B. Moss. "We want to introduce Rodgers and Hammerstein to a broader base of people plus most plays have scenes and dialogue. This just has a theme: To fall in love all over again," said Carlisle. According to Emily-Anne Wood, a cast member, each player "change(s) according to what song [they] are singing"— an interesting change from the usual one- player, one-character concept we see in most theatrical productions. Wood also spoke of the relaxed atmosphere of rehearsals. "We get a lot done. Steve Carlisle is wonderful to work with, [and] he's so ' accommodating to our needs. He makes sure we have adequate breaks, and that our voices are properly taken care of." Other students participating in the show are Kevin Billings, Maurice Burgess, Allison Currie, Amy Haggard, Sarah Haggard, Linda Haggard, Jeanne Jolly, photo courtesy Mark Haskett/OPI Enchantresses (l-f) Kelly Stamey, Emily Wood, Rebecca Newton, and Linda Haggard. Rebekah Newton, Kelly Stamey, and Communications Professor Al Wiggins. Wood seemed excited about the characters she plays. "Most of the time, I play an interested, playful and energetic young lady who is excited about love. Other times, I play a bit of a bad-girl—which is a neat change from my 'real-life' character." When asked why one should attend a showing of "Some Enchanted Evening," Wood said that anyone who's ever been in love or who's ever heard about love should come see the show. "I thought it might be a good opportunity to help people remember some of the things that made them fall in love," said Carlisle. "Some Enchanted Evening" opens Thursday, February 10, and will run until Sunday, February 13. Curtain time is 7:30pm Thursday through Saturday, with afternoon matinees at 2pm on Saturday and Sunday. All performances will be inside of WCU's Hoey Auditorium. These times have been changed due to the appearance of Danny Glover and Felix Justice in their program, "A Evening with Langston and Martin," part of the Chancellor's Speakers series. For reservations or additional information, call the department of Communications and Theatre Arts at (828) 227-7491.
