The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards (TAG) is proud to present. “A Drunken Forest & A Rainbow Swamp”, a solo exhibit featuring the work of printmaker and Appalachian State professor Josh Winkler. The artist’s personal experience in the landscape, historical research, and the magic and mystery of the natural world inspire this thoughtful collection of prints.
Winkler works from a home studio, SKS Press, utilizing primarily printmaking processes. His research in unique landscapes like the Grand Tetons, Northern California, and the Colorado River inspired works that reflect environmental conflict and destruction while focusing on positivity and the potency of personal connection to the land.
The exhibition opens November 19, 2026 and will be on view through January 2, 2027. An opening reception will take place on November 19 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Alongside Winkler’s work is an intimate exhibit, “Vesseling”, by Durham-based artist David Roswell. Using locally-dug wild clay and created in the weeks before and after his mother’s death, these vessels act as containers for grief. In his book, In the Absence of the Ordinary, Francis Weller compares grief’s need for containment to fermentation and alchemy. Grievers, he suggests, need time and space to process, to gather with loved ones, to collect memories, and to be transformed. “The work of the vessel,” he writes, “is both to contain and to further the material.”
