EmoryGives
campaign goes well beyond $425K goal: The
EmoryGives signs posted around campus proudly advertise the campaign’s
great success, surpassing its $425,000 goal by more than $61,000. “I
think the terrific results are a measure of the extraordinary enthusiasm
at Emory that comes with a new president, a new vision and a new
sense of moment,” says General Counsel Kent Alexander, who
chaired this year’s campaign. This spring EmoryGives will
shift its focus to providing volunteer opportunities for Emory
community members.

Sculptor
Chris Drury will discuss his work in the Carlos Museum Reception
Hall on Friday, Jan. 30 at 4 p.m. “Pine Circle,
Cone Sphere,” the piece shown at right, is part of the exhibition “Tender
Landscape,” which opens at Agnes Scott College, Jan. 29. Drury,
a native of Scotland, is a “land artist” or someone who works
with nature. Rocks, twigs, straw and even ram’s horns have found
places in his work. While he produces sculpture for gallery exhibitions
(such as “Pine Circle,” completed in 1984), much of Drury’s
art is located outdoors. His basketworks, shelters and cairns have been
created in forests, on hillsides and along rivers. One of his most visually
stunning works was “Tree Vortex,” a 13-meter-high woven cone
of sticks that surrounded a sycamore tree in Denmark in 1998. In 2003,
Drury traveled to locales ranging from Iceland to Australia to North
Carolina to display his pieces. Drury’s talk is co-sponsored by
the Visual Arts Program and the Georgia State University sculpture department. |
