Calling
1988–89
SARA WATERS (AMERICAN)
Acrylic on Wood
West Hall
Sara Waters works in a variety of media, including sculpture,
paintings, and installations. Inside the artist are voices of anger,
loneliness, fear, mistrust, and confusion, which she has shown
through imagery that expresses childlike innocence. Such
powerful emotions are shared by all at one time or another, but
few can communicate these feelings with the artistic power
conveyed in Calling.

JIM RABBY (AMERICAN)
Oil on Canvas
West Hall
Rabby’s impressionistic palette-knife oil paintings have captured
the attention of world-class art collectors. This piece weaves color,
movement, and texture as the artist marries abstraction with
the earth-bound landscape. There is an air of free-spiritedness
reflected in the painting as colors bounce along the landscape.
The unrelenting sense of movement in this painting appeals to
the senses, while the abstract aesthetic gives viewers freedom in
their interpretation of the image.
