Exhibit Closing: "Useful Work: Photographs of Hickory Nut Gap Farm" Exhibit at CDS

The closing of an exhibition at the Center for Documentary Studies that features thirty-eight color images by Ken Abbott, who photographed Hickory Nut Gap Farm over a period of five years. The site in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina includes an old inn-the "Big House"-and surrounding property, where five generations of one family have lived and worked the land. Abbott will visit CDS on August 18 for a reception and artists' talk; he will also be signing copies of a book by the same name.
