Perhaps the most moving pieces
of artwork in the exhibit are the three
paintings by Mary Ciani Saslow. Each
of the works in the trilogy describe
Saslow’s feelings concerning her sis
ter’s diagnosis of cancer.
Rodney Culver Hill’s artwork is
also in the exhibit. Hill is the artist
who created the wood carvings in
the Memorial Student Center. His
blueprint for the new Student Life
carving is on display in “Exploring
Boundaries.”
Hill said the most time-consum
ing aspect of blueprinting the
plaque was making the decisions
concerning which organizations
and activities would go onto it.
“Everyone had to be given a
chance,” Hastedt said, “so the blue
print took a long time to do.”
“Exploring Boundaries” show
cases everything from traditional
paintings to computer-generated
animation.
“It is fascinating how much the
computer has changed art in the
last five years,” Hastedt said. “Most
of these artists started out with tra
ditional art.”
ere is also a glass goblet from
estate of New York Metropoli-
i Opera star Rosa Ponselle.
