Example by Dr. Jan Pearce:
Artist's Statement: Having
been at Bere College since 1992, I feel that Berea has become
lost. At first glance you may believe that I represent the hope
that Berea finds more capital. There are a number of symbols
used: the desert sand represents being lost, the stars indicating
hope, the roadsign representing a path to the future, and the oasis
represents a possible salvation. However, more reflection will reveal
darker meanings. The goose is intended as an ironic allusion to
"the goose that laid the golden egg," an Aesop's fable which is a moral
tale about the hazards of greed. The audience cannot tell if the oasis
is completely surrounded by desert or even if it is a mirage. With
this, I am indicating that Berea's current problems are unlikely to be
solved entirely by money alone.
