Love in the Shadow of Death, an exhibition by Paul Tepper (CCAD ’01), opens November 14 at Hayley Gallery in New Albany, Ohio.

Jon Hair (CCAD, '76-’78) has sculpted a 12-foot granite statue of Martin Luther that is being dedicated Saturday, Oct. 9 on a North Carolina college campus.

Hair's project began with a 36-inch tall clay maquette as a guide to sculpting the full-size stone statue of the religious leader. Molds of the preliminary scale model then were made in order for a plaster casting of the piece to be poured, which served as a guide to sculpt the final piece.

Alumna Olga Ziemska (CCAD, '00) has a large public art project of flying, swimming, and diving figures installed in a lobby at Kent State University.

The Light Which Can be Heard consists of 14 acrylic human silhouettes traced from the bodies of KSU students. Roughly 1,300 tiny acrylic globes are affixed to each life-size silhouette and on the back of each globe the artist has fastened small color photographs of KSU student performances, events and activities over the past decade.

Partly Cloudy–Chance of Rain, an exhibition featuring the paintings of Max Moran (CCAD, ’78), runs through October 11 at Jedediah Hawkins Inn, 400 S. Jamesport Ave. in Jamesport, NY.

Ray Kline (CCAD, '59) has a show through Sept. 10 in council chambers in Grove City, OH where he has also served as curator of the Grove City Art Concern since 1991.
