Tresner exhibits artistic work at Ole Miss

Words are a powerful means of communication 鈥� especially when they come in the form of a 12-foot, 200-pound sculpture.

University of Louisiana at Monroe Associate Professor of Art Cliff Tresner has the pride of exhibiting his 鈥淪ee What I鈥檓 Saying鈥� aluminum, word-based sculpture at his alma mater, the University of Mississippi. His piece, composed of words Tresner created, cut and welded, is on exhibit in front of the University of Mississippi Museum through July 31.

The sculpture is on loan from its permanent owner, the Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, where visitors will normally find it displayed on the front lawn.

Tresner said, "I am proud to be invited to exhibit my work at the University of Mississippi and pleased that the Masur Museum of Art agreed to permit the loan of 鈥楽ee What I Am Saying.鈥欌��

His work has been featured on the Web pages of both the Southern Arts Federation and Tri-State Sculpture, receiving critical acclaim from his peers.

Tresner鈥檚 work may also be seen at http://clifftresner.com and occasionally in 网曝门鈥檚 Sculpture Garden. For more information, go to www.ulm.edu/art/sculpturegarden.
