Show 14 Signpost Friday, June 6, 1986 Highly competitive exhibit reaps best work of students by Tanja Schaffer Staff Reporter Cloaked in identical white dresses and petticoats, five ceramic dancers freeze en pointe. Cleaving to a wooden board on the north wall of the gallery, each one owns a carved smile that seems to welcome anyone who enters the Collett Art Building. Evelyn Kenny deserves credit for this one. Her "Study in Expression" project received a faculty juror's Honorable Mention when the Weber State art department announced awards to students who participated in the annual student exhibition. The exhibition was pre -juried by members of the art faculty. The final adjudication and awards were determined by Richard Johnston, director of the Salt Lake Art Center. Carolyn Lowther covered an entire wall with her hand-made felt project called "Cubic Series I ." This was announced as the "Best of Show." It is composed of four large triangles which have been joined to form a giant square. The fluffy folds of each triangle are saturated with different colors which appear to melt into one another. Two triangles are drenched with blue, red , brown and violet. The others are soaked with orange, red, green and yellow. , f ' f'"1 , . . -.;-f f , f - r x , - .
