Critters fuzzed in
sweat-filled arenas and danced
a prom dance with wet stabs
on their briefs. Trent Reznor
boomed his broken heart and
screamed his neurosis to a

'Field of blue' lingers on McLoughlin wall
byRussJones
The Print Staff
I came upon a field of
blue. It was much like many
summer skies of yesterday. Be­
neath that timeless, azure vault,
I’d stretch upon my back and wan­
der too with the lazy, cotton clouds
that came and went with endless
ease: Spanish galleons with bil­
lowed sails, castles floating high
upon some misted mountain crest,
shapes that turned and changed,
weaving scenes of magic and mys­
tery.
I came upon a field of
blue and I was drawn into this
same mysterious world of sum­
mers past and present. A new
world where memories stir and
imagination reaches inward and
outward.
Tolingeristotravelupon
roads where arrows seem to lead
nowhere,.yet wander through a
place of vibrant, living, growing
things: seabirds, space birds, soar­
ing sailing things, embryos, at­
oms, twining vines reaching up­
ward, twisted roots striving down­
ward, a minaret bathed in gold,
flashing fingers of yellow fire, the
wash of ancient seas on primal
shores and more, all live and flow
within this field of blue.
To enter this world, take
some time and visit the SE stair­
well of McLoughlin Hall. This is
the location of a recently com-
pletedmural created by RickTrue’s
Winter1994 Basic Design classes
(2 sections). ,.
The completed 6' by 9'
grid is composed of 45 individual
diamond-shaped panels. These
panels were first assembled in their
final configuration, marked with
corresponding entry points along
the matching edges, then indi­
vidually numbered in series to
ensure proper placement when
reassembled. The panels were
then distributed to the Basic De­
sign students to create their own
imaginative imagery, as long as
the various shapes entered and
exited at the appropriate marks
along the panel edges. This con­
cept encouraged an energetic flow
of shapes and patterns through the
larger grid.
To enhance overall Con­
tinuity of the individual panel
themes, a limitation designating
the use of colors containing white
P ostal A nnex *
and blue helps pull the wide van-
ety of colors into a blue “aura”.
Thiseffect is heightenedby mount­
ing the panels on a rich blue back­
ground.
stop and explore the
visions and ideas of 45 individuals,
united as a single mural.
