| “Bobby Wouldn’t Listen …” by Patrick Dubreuil |
Anything can be art — in the right hands.
Mysoon Rizk, associate professor of art, used found objects, paint and wood in her piece titled “Shelving #15: Disasters Are Good for Commodity Trading.” A close look at this work reveals a “Star Wars” Jedi figurine, key chain, bike reflector, air freshener, flattened marker and broken ruler among the discarded items she recycled.
“Beginnings and Endings #2” by Diana Attie, professor of art, features bullet shells, a broken vase, rusted cans, cement, CDs and plastic beverage rings.
Both of these pieces can be seen in the 2006 Faculty Exhibition in the Center for the Visual Arts Gallery on the Toledo Museum of Art Campus through Friday, Oct. 20. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

| “Holy Night Fever” by Phil Davis |
A closing reception with the artists will take place Friday, Oct. 20, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
The exhibit features graphite and pen drawings, digital prints, lithography, mixed-media works, paintings and sculpture.
Rex Fogt’s porcelain piece, “Four Side Slurpie,” is a dazzling blue color that changes beneath the gallery lights. “Bobby Wouldn’t Listen …,” an acrylic painting by Patrick Dubreuil, depicts the family vacation, complete with wood-paneled station wagon. Megan Merrell used marble and aluminum to create “Prickly in Pink,” and Karen Roderick Lingeman’s ceramic work, “Moonscape,” is aptly named.

Graphite drawings by Linda Ames-Bell feature intricate detail, while Deborah Davis constructed her mixed-media piece, “Rock, Scissors, Paper No. 2,” with the literal items from the hand game. Tracey Ladd cast “SOLA” in glass, and Tom Lingeman used bronze and steel for “Shadow Sweep.” Phil Davis manipulated mixed-media to create “Holy Night Fever,” with repetitions of marching bunnies in a circular motif. Deborah Orloff’s photo, “Holzwege #1,” is an eye-catching glimpse of winter.
Joel Lipman, professor of art and English, utilized photography, rubber stamps, water-based inks and found book pages to make a series of small pieces with titles from visual poems used as cover art and illustration for two books.
