Under-Water Design Shown In Gallery
One of the most exciting mosaic projects ever undertaken in the Southland can now' be seen in the downstairs gallery ot Harris Hall as part of the Annual Student Show.
The mosaic is an under-sea composition done by Dennison Herring as a design project for his Master of Fine Arts degree. It is a combination of glass and ceramic tile, pebbles and sand, enamel on copper, free floating shapes and raised levels.
It is exceptionally large — about 18 feet in area. The value has been set at approximately $2.000.
The mosaic was exhibited in the Design West Show held last fall in the Museum of Science and Industry. Since that time it has been featured in various exhibits in Southern California.
Herring, who teaches at Whittier High School, will complete his master’s thesis this summer under the direction of Professor Ralph Johnstone of the SC Fine Arts Department.________
