Arlie Regier - "Space Drifter" Regier's work was created to express non-verbal thoughts. His belief is that if one person sees his work and is inspired to think on his creation than it was a well-spent effort on his part to create the piece. His work is a reflection of the machines that agricultural environments thrive on, the relation of how the person uses and interacts with that machine. |

Larry Young - "Introspection" Larry's creation "Introspection" was designed to represent 'an interior life-form within an exterior life form.' He wanted to make sure his piece had a presence in the environment around the form, and that everyone that passed by, whether on foot, or by car, was aware of the piece. The piece is meant to reflect the lives that college students find themselves a part of, a time of looking inward and outward simultaneously. |

Philip Uyeda - "Equipondation" Philip created "Equipondation" with attention to it's surroundings in mind.
