Smitten with Kelly Nye's Jewelry Food
Consumption, desire and superficiality came together in form of Kelly Nye's pieces, a few tasty-looking, fashionable makings of wool and metals to show just how sweets and accessories bring basic things in life to excess levels. Kelly Nye, the creator of this exhibit, along with her committee members, Susanna Spiera, Carol Shaw-Sutton and Karen Kleinfelder, explained in the show notes, "Food is a staple of daily life. However, sweets are a superfluous part of a meal, an indulgent afterthought giving no real sustenance. They are a luxury craving similar to jewelry is to a wardrobe."
'Green Light' District, It's Tucked Away at the Design Building
Surrealism + Shiny Materials + Worst Nightmares + Light Design = "Green Light Sculptures," Brainy Expressions by Neil Pappone's Design Students! This Lighting and Interior Architecture design class assembled the latest artistic objects on display (or floating) in the glass showcase at the south entrance to the Design Building. This Green Light Sculpture project required students to create fixtures equally strong with beam force to our modern-day bulbs that waste too much of our earth's precious energies. Recycable or renewable materials were used instead to make their sculptures, inspired by their "worst nightmares."
