Joseph Colosi
"San Pier Niceto"
|
A sculpture made of corten steel, tumbled granite, paint and metal halide lighting. Colosi explains this piece was inspired by his recent trip to his ancestral town in Sicily, San Pier Niceto. The piece is 15-feet tall, 4-feet wide and 3-feet deep and fabricated from 1 inch corten steel. Its pattern was taken directly from the inside of the trunk that carried his great-grandparent's possessions to America. |

"Give"
|
A 14-foot by 14-foot by 5-foot sculpture made of salvaged steel and polymer. This brightly colored interactive sculpture which explores the act of giving can be described as a transfer of energy from one person to another. Viewers are welcomed inside to experience its mass. Once inside one may interact with it, push against it, whisper in the right spot and it is carried to the other side of this arch. |

Michael L. Grucza
"BOING!" |
This sculpture of steel plate with catalyzed polyurethane paint was inspired by Grucza's interest in using steel in unexpected structural ways with simple bends, as a child might do with a sheet of paper and by his love of bold use of color. This 8-foot by 8-foot by 11-foot sculpture invites people to explore its visual, tactile, acoustic and architectural elements. When touched or pulled, the spirals produce a subtle "BOING!' sound. |

Richard Kiebdaj
"Owl and Pussycat" |
This 11-foot by 5-foot by 5-foot piece is made of steel with macropoxy paint. It pays homage to Edward Lear, best known for his children's poems and limericks and an accomplished artist as well. His cat and trusted companion, "Foss," died in 1886, a year before Lear published "The Owl and the Pussycat." |

Michele Lanning
"Critical Mass" |
A 4-foot tall sculpture made out of No. 2 pencils and wood. Lanning explains, "In working with different scales and mediums I am involved in exploring objects and our relationship with them. By exploiting and layering our associations to materials and objects, I seek to expand our conventional understandings to convey an alternative attachment." |

Travis Lanning
"Progression" |
A bronze sculpture measuring 7-feet by 4-feet by 1.5-feet. It is a combination of the forms and textures of both bricks and LEGO pieces. This was inspired by his impression that brick structures reminded him of the countless, childhood hours spent playing with LEGOs. |

Brian Monaghan
"Untitled" |
Is made of painted curved steel beams stands 15 feet tall. Placement of its beams appear to give it a random design. It is not random at all. Untitled, represents an aspect of our time and harkens back to abstract expressionism in a three-dimensional form. |
 |
Jason Verbeek
"Dragonfly" |
Is a 10-foot by 25-foot by 25-foot sculpture of carbon steel and polished stainless steel depicting a dragonfly chained to a 6-foot mound of dirt, pulling up the earth to reveal wetlands. By pulling it up, a pool is created around this mound. The plants used in this piece - turf grass, wetland plants like Cardinal Flower, pickerel, bulrush, common arrowhead, swamp milkweed and native sedges - are recycled from Red Mill Pond, near PNC, where Verbeek is doing a job for the Army Corps of Engineers. |

"A Green Field"
|
This is a unique multi-colored work composed of two separate sections of cutouts that are abstract representations of the outdoors.
The left section is an imperfect multi-colored rectangle of thin metal, cut in a floral-type pattern. The right section, which appears to be two separate pieces, has the same floral type cut-out metal in green/blue but has superimposed several solid pieces of aluminum in yellow, orange and light green. A Green Field is a wall piece inside the Library-Student-Faculty Building , second floor library. |

George Sugarman
"Two Blues and a Red" |
While less intricate and smaller than the two previous works, this sculpture evokes power instead of delicacy. The shorter section is cube-like, painted red, with various cut-outs including a large circle. The other section appears to be two sheets, cut the same shape, mirroring each other and meeting at the base. It is taller, painted blue, and arches away from the red section in a graceful fashion. Two Blues and a Red can be seen in the second floor lobby of Schwarz Hall. |

George Sugarman
"Two Part Folding Screen" |
While the widths vary, both the height and depth of the two parts are completely related.
The work consists of two vertical pieces, created from various-colored thin aluminum sheets, cut out in a floral-like pattern. One part is largely orange and the other is multi-colored, with forms pointing upward. Two Part Folding Screen is exhibited inside the Library-Student-Faculty Building , second floor library. |
