This is a sculpture from an Indian kingdom during the reign of the British Raj. It was commissioned by a Sultan who maintained rule independent of British authority, and represented the force of the king against the oppression of the British. Inside of the works are pipes that play sounds. 
Our names are Blake Coelho and Marisa Illo and we are seniors at Santa Clara University studying Theatre Arts and Music. As seniors we are given the opportunity to create and perform our own senior recitals showcasing the skills we have acquired during our time at SCU. We are taking advantage of this opportunity and have decided to turn our individual recitals into a joint production of a musical theatre show called “The Last 5 Years” by Jason Robert Brown. The plot and music has truly spoken to us, and we want to share our passion for this story with others. Although we typically see ourselves as actors and singers we are now taking on the roles of director, stage managers, producers, designers, and so much more.After reading that, how could you not consider donating a couple bucks to the cause? In thanks, Blake and Marisa are not only willing to guarantee you seats to the show but also will include your name in the program. How's that for karma? Give up today's Starbucks money and suddenly you're a bona fide benefactor and philanthropist!
Because this is our senior project, we cannot charge for admission. Therefore we need to fund the show through only donations. We were surprised to discover the costliness of putting on this production, however we will not let this stand in our way. We need your help in order to make this dream a reality.





Another pop-surreal piece ... sometimes modernity feels like a big bad joke! Todd Schorr works in acrylics and hand paints all of his pieces - for this sort of detail, such a traditional mode of work is unheard of today. He lives in LA and shows his work all over the nation.
