photo of The Spirit of Kilroy   Wayne Rice - The Spirit of Kilroy

This three-dimensional sculpture of brightly colored geometric shapes recalls Kilroy, the World War II cartoon character who came to represent the spirit of the American G.I. and pays tribute to the brave young soldiers who were part of the massive effort to defeat the tyranny of dictatorship.

Made of steel, wood, neon and acrylic, this piece represents the state of mind of imprisonment – that we can allow ourselves to be imprisoned by our beliefs but that there is always a space that exists within that is free and whole.

This cast aluminum piece illustrates that we need to be free to continue to explore a sympathetic relationship between industry and nature in the new millennium.

photo of Enabled   Faheem Majeed - Enabled

This steel and spray paint piece conveys ideas about freedom, but the artist leaves the piece open to interpretation to project one’s own experiences. The artist notes that some see the figure as breaking free of chains while others see it in a religious context.

Made of 500 weathered railroad spikes and welded into multiple surfaces to embody trains of thought – the freedom to create - a liberating force.

photo of Handmade Revolution   Kara James -  Handmade Revolution

An aluminum figure that suggests the force of freedom is the human force and that freedom is our responsibility. While the concept of freedom is in our minds and souls, the power is in our hands.

A neon piece that represents the freedom to explore a new dimension - in this case, the relationship between the university and art.

    S. Thomas Scarff - Clipper Ship

A clipper ship, charting freedom's course.

photo of Emergence #11   Eric Stephenson - Emergence #11 (Free Spirit)

The work was inspired by the notion of a free spirit, acting in free will on free ideas. The gestural figure springs from an industrialized owl's head, symbolizing the juxtaposition of humanity and technology, knowledge and action, language and thought.

A representation of the dynamic potential of freedom, as a bird "erupts" from the base.
