The Turnings by Emily Andress

Local artist and gallery owner, Emily Andress, brings you four monumental paintings packed with meaning and interpretation. What part of American History will you discover in The Turnings: A Cycle of American Time?

On display beginning June 24, experience four-layered and emotional paintings by Emily Andress at the Gaston County Museum of Art & History.

In this series, Emily Andress explores four repeating moments in American History that create a cycle through time. The four phases are Spring: The High, Summer: The Awakening, Autumn: The Unraveling, and Winter: The Crisis.

This series does not seek to resolve history, but to reflect it; to hold its contradictions, its repetitions, and its consequences. As the seasons move forward, they also return.
