The Frankie G. Weems Gallery at Meredith College features Amy Wetsch's exhibition, “The Shape of Shifting.” Amy’s practice spans installations, paintings, drawings, mixed-media sculptures, and publicly engaged works. Her practice examines systems in constant motion, including tectonic shifts beneath the Earth’s surface, adaptive microorganisms in extreme environments, and human bodies that continually recalibrate in response to internal and external change.
Rooted in geological processes, her practice explores how pressure, fracture, and flow create form through constant transformation. Amy experiments with materials like sand, salts, paper pulp, and glass to create otherworldly forms and surfaces that feel active. These shifting structures never fully settle, suggesting landscapes that continually break apart and reform. By unveiling the earth’s hidden processes, Amy evokes wonder about our environment and calls us to appreciate and advocate for it.
“The Shape of Shifting” will be on display from September 8th to September 27th, 2026, in the Frankie G. Weems Gallery at the Gaddy-Hamrick Art Center on the Meredith College campus. The gallery is open weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The opening reception will take place on September 10th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Weems Gallery. The gallery talk will take place in Room 137 at the Gaddy-Hamrick Art Center at 5:30. Meredith College is located at 3800 Hillsborough St. in Raleigh, North Carolina.
