Carolina Union artwork creates community, sense of home

Downstairs, the Carolina Union bustles with activity. On a given day, thousands of students pass through to grab a cup of coffee, catch up with friends or hunker down in a comfortable chair tapping away on their laptops. Peeking out from the sea of tables and chairs are three of Clyde Jones’ “critters.” Commissioned in 2006, the wooden animal caricatures were constructed on site by the Chatham County artist and painted by Carolina students. As part of the union’s expanding art collection, these playful primitive sculptures help create the fun and warmth that can remind students of home. “It isn’t enough to supply coffee and tables. We want to create an inviting atmosphere here. Art is very important in creating that sense of community we’re after,” said Don Luse, Carolina Union director. For the past couple of years, Luse has been on a mission to fill the union with a variety of art, from oil paintings to pottery, quilts and brickwork to bronze and fiberglass sculptures — even glass doors depicting the beauty of a North Carolina sunset over the ocean. The union’s permanent art collection, named after Peggy Jablonski, vice chancellor for the building’s first two full-time directors, Howard student affairs, stands before “Thinking Henry and Archie Copeland, was started 10 years ago.

The goal is to bring more art — and different kinds of art — into the union. It also involves placing art wherever students are connected, in areas such as “Monk” by Joel Washington (detail shown) hangs outside the residence halls and the new Student and Academic Services Buildings (SASB). Carolina Union administrative offices and depicts North Carolina native Such an undertaking is possible because of the staunch support of Peggy Jablonski, vice chancellor for and renowned jazz pianist Thelonious Monk.

Right, one of Clyde Jones’ colorful wooden “critters” is poised near the hub of activity downstairs in the Carolina Union. Outsider artist Jones used a chainsaw to craft the sculptures on site in 2006 and invited students to paint them.

“Archaeological Collection,” right, by Kimowan McLain, assistant professor of art, was created in 2000. Below, the striking, untitled sculpture of steel, fiberglass and light, hangs in the stairwell of the Union, where it can be enjoyed by the thousands of students who pass through the building every day. The 27-foot sculpture was commissioned by students, who worked with artist Matt McConnell in bringing the concept to life. Part of the union since 2006, the effort was led by then-student Lera Germaine.

Above, Don Luse, director of the Carolina Union, and Lindsey Paytes, a junior who chairs the student-led Art Collection Committee of the Union Activities Board, pose beside “Rhodes Scholar.” The striking wood-fired vessel was crafted by Mark Hewitt, a native of England who has lived and worked in Chatham County for 25 years, and installed in 2006. Luse and Paytes are instrumental in the union’s ongoing efforts to find new ways for students to experience art on campus. Led by the Division of Student Affairs, the art initiative seeks to put art in places students are connected including the union, residence halls and the Student and Academic Services Buildings.
