Winston native Daniel Peddle comes to town with his collection of
paintings inspired by his feature length documentary, Trail Angels.
Opening reception is Friday December 2nd, 7-9p.m. Show runs through December 31st.
Trail Angels will be shown at 8 p.m. A brief Q&A with the director/artist will follow the screening.
"Four years ago, while making his second feature documentary, Trail
Angels, Peddle encountered what hikers call “the green tunnel”, a
hallucinatory effect wherein the woods seem to engulf one’s path. These
dreamlike moments walking behind a friend in the forest became the
catalyst to a much larger truth: “The earth wants you back,” he
explains. “It is always waiting to receive you.” The experience returned
him to a youth spent playing in the abandoned barns and empty houses
immersed in the thickets of rural North Carolina. Peddle’s work comments
on the power and beauty of rot, which points always to this undeniable
fact: in spite of our increasing separation from the natural world, the
frothing shore will eventually devour us."
"TRAIL ANGELS,
Peddle’s second film is a portrait of a subculture. Here a community
based on kindness and simplicity emerges from the backwoods of America.
The film follows four unsung heroes, who make it their quest to help the
seasonal thru-hikers of the Appalachian Trail, a pilgrimage of five
million footsteps. The film debuted on The Documentary Channel in 2011
as part of their series “Across America”."
