Three students received Best of Show awards for their artwork, which is currently on display in the George Waters Art Gallery. Their work is part of the annual juried Senior Art and Selected Student Works Show, which, in addition to spotlighting the EC senior Art majors, included notable works from students in all class years. The full show will be on display through May 9, and the seniors' work will remain until graduation on May 19.
Alumna Lynne Rusinko ’90, president of Community Arts of Elmira, judged the show and awarded the prizes.
First place: Carved oak and cherry sculpture by Hollis Berry '25.
“I felt shocked and I wasn’t really expecting to win,” shared Berry when asked about earning first place. “What inspired my pieces was to create fluidity in a functional object such as a stool.”
In awarding Berry first place, Rusinko said, “Overall, the artistic impact of the work elevates us and is more than the piece itself. It transcends form and function.”
Second place: Art by Rebecca Verdonck ’24.
“I was so shocked and happy to hear that I won an award for my work,” exclaimed Verdonck. “Each piece just had my own passion for birds within them and I’m glad it came across!”
Rusinko said Verdonck’s pieces “illustrated her skilled technique that transforms the artwork into a soulful story of her subjects in a way that gives us the honor of standing with the birds in their special space and place.”
Third place: A 17-inch ceramics piece by Miranda Waterman ’25.
“When I learned I won Best in Show, I was super excited,” shared Waterman. “When making the piece, I didn’t have anything specific in mind other than the shape and technique of coil pots. I just wanted the fluidity of the piece to lead me where it was meant to go and was very happy with the end result!”
Rusinko said that Waterman’s “choice and application of glazes and the shape of her work transports us to a spiritual beauty, whatever that spirituality might be for each of us, or at the least it opens us to the possibility of something beyond ourselves.”
