Entries were required to be able to shelter a minimum of three people and one wheelchair space, and to express themes of transportation and movement. In May of 2006, a jury selected four winning . proposals out of 48 entries. Athens Design Development, which is comprised of Didi Dunphy, Carol John, Lou Kregel, Michael Lachowski, Carl Martin and Michael Oliveri, designed "Blazberry Highway." See this bus shelter on West Broad Street, next to the entrance to St. Mary's Hospital. The name is inspired by the color of the shelter. Christopher Fennell, of Birmingham, AL, designed a bus shelter incorporating pieces of a recycled school bus. This sculpture/ shelter is on West Broad Street/ Atlanta Highway, near McDonald's and Hampton Inn. Craig Brimley and Stephanie Hui of New York City designed the sleek seat on Alps Road, near SunTrust Bank. Their design allows an entranceway for shoppers on both sides of the shelter. "Recycled Rails," designed by Joe Maddox of North Carolina, has been installed on Baxter Street, near Wolf Camera and Jittery Joe's. "You, Me, and The Bus" marks an important move towards public sculpture in Athens. Let's hope the ball keeps rolling, www.athensarts.org. Healing Art: Work.by students in Sarah Pattison's expressive painting class, titled "Seeing with a Wild Eye," is currently on view at the Healing Arts Centre on Prince Avenue. A member of the Society of Arts in Healthcare (SAH), Pattison guides cancer patients, caregivers and family members through an introspective process to create art in a nurturing environment at the Loran Smith Center for Cancer Support. Each of the 12 artists exhibited at The Healing Arts Centre remains anonymous; protecting privacy is among the guidelines that help promote exploration in the class. Pattison, an artist herself, says, "This method is proving very valuable to those suffering from cancer and those who support them simply because there is a permission to say what cannot be said and to have a safe place to express feelings that arise from the stresses caused by life-threatening illness. It requires no previous painting experi ence." Pattison knows firsthand how dif ficult it can be to navigate a battle against cancer; she and her siblings dealt with their mother's struggle with the disease. In addition to the painting class, the Loran Smith Center offers free counseling, yoga and a poetry workshop. Poems from "The Woven Dialogue Workshop," facili tated by Sara Baker, are also on display at Healing Arts. On Saturday, Oct. 20, as part of the "In Their Shoes" fundraiser, a 13-mile walk that begins and ends at the Loran Smith Center, The Healing Arts Centre will be hosting a Yogathon. Participants in the Yogathon will be helping to raise funds for the Loran Smith Center by getting spon sors to contribute Si for every sun salutation they complete. Stop by the Healing Arts Centre, located at 834 Prince Avenue, on that day, to cheer on participants in the walk and the Yogathon, and to view the art on the last day of display. For more on the Yogathon, see www.healingartscentre.net or 706-613-1143. For more on the Loran Smith Center for Cancer Support, see www.armc.org/health/ cancer.shtml or call 706-475-4900. Jars are also repeated in several images. "Revisions (grass jars)" shows the jars filled with grass, which convey a different meaning than the empty jars in other panels. "Revisions" was inspired by McGuire's recent process of regaining vision after an event left her blinded in one eye. She says, "The original sketches for this series were done while I was undergoing extensive surgeries and recuper ating. The actual printing was started while I was still traveling back and forth to Emory for doctor's visits and injections into my eye which left it very difficult to see for large portions of time." "Revisions" will be on display through the first week of November. McGuire also currently has a semester-long installation in the window of the historic Tanner Building, which houses Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE). Passersby are invited to take prints that have been adhered to the exterior window, reminiscent of Felix Gonzalez-Torres' stacks of paper. Mark Callahan, assistant director of ICE, suggests that the diminishing prints, on trans lucent vellum paper, affect the view of the installation. As more prints are removed, more light comes through the window. The Historic Tanner Building is located on Fulton Street., off South Jackson Street. Find out more at www.ice.uga.edu. Top: “Recycled Rails,” designed by Joe Maddox, is on Baxter Street, near Wolf Camera and Jittery Joe’s. Bottom: Craig Brimley and Stephanie Hui designed this sleek shelter on Alps Road, near SunTrust Bank. Revisions: Work by Katherine McGuire, an MFA candidate in Printmaking at UGA, is currently on view at Flicker Theatre and Bar. Originally from California, she received a BA in Anthropology at NYU in 2003. McGuire has titled the series of screenprints "Revisions," referring to the change of meaning that occurs when images are placed in a different context. An example of this change is the use of a young girl's feet, clad in Mary Janes, on two different panels. In one panel, McGuire has printed the image so that the feet appear to rest on a solid surface. In a separate piece, titled "revisions (girl)," the same feet are seen floating above a grr en lamb. A young girl with hands over her eyes stands in the foreground, suggesting thoughts of Mary and her lost lamb.
