Student Union gallery displaying alumna’s work

“Let Your Lines Lead You” is a display featuring work by UNC Charlotte alumna Suzy Hannon. It explores the movement of lines in emotions, and it will be displayed Tuesday, June 10, through Tuesday, July 1, in the Student Union Art Gallery.

A public reception for the exhibit will be at 5 p.m., Wednesday, June 25, in the gallery.

The display features a group of large-scale figures hung to form a labyrinth to convey the universal human emotions of joy, apathy, grief and confidence.

“I use points and lines to travel and locate other points and lines—kind of like a roadmap so I don’t get lost,” Hannon explained. “Gradually the figure drawings form and become masses of energy held in place by these lines to capture the figure’s life energy and essence of the spirit.”

During her time as a student in the Art Department at UNC Charlotte, Hannon helped to start the College of Arts + Architecture Figure Drawing Club.

Hannon graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in design and a Bachelor of Arts in writing prior to her studies in Charlotte.
