TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE EXHIBIT USING GOOGLE EARTH
A collection of large-scale, outdoor artwork by sculpture students will be displayed on the Sonoma State University campus from May 16-28 in conjunction with the May 27 graduation ceremonies. Students from professor Jann Nunn's class will feature 13 pieces all over campus for the thousands of visitors to the University to enjoy as they attend graduation ceremonies.
Some sculptures recall myth and legends in their content. June Li's "Circle of Life" features the Chinese zodiac cut from steel. Greg Flood's "Maraude's Labyrinth" is constructed of cut-out images on black plywood on eight-foot high walls.
Joey Castor's "Hearth" features an seven-foot high black dome constructed from bricks. Lauren Okon's "Modify" incorporates colored lengths of cloth suspended from the eves of buildings. Portia Sanborn's "Choices" includes molds of pink drills and yellow steam irons spread out along a Stevenson Hall walkway.
The sculpture department hosts a reception for the artists on Thursday, May 25 at 4 p.m. in the Art Building Sculpture Courtyard, followed by a tour of the sculpture projects led by sculpture professor Jann Nunn and the participating artists. The public is invited.
