'''Description of Artwork:''' Byll Cawley's | '''Description of Artwork:''' Byll Cawley's ''The Wedding Fragment Series: Situational Ethics'' consists of bronze sculptures of nude female figures, including a woman suspended from a cross. One piece contains a kneeling, armless woman with both a vagina and a penis. <P> | ||
'''The Incident:''' Eight of Cawley's works were hastily chosen to replace a student exhibit that was unexpectedly cancelled. During the installation of the work, university administrators informed Cawley that a cover and a sign explaining that the director of student life considered the penis on his sculpture inappropriate would accompany the sculpture. After a story on the covered piece appeared in the local paper, administrators moved the sculpture to a storage closet. <P> | '''The Incident:''' Eight of Cawley's works were hastily chosen to replace a student exhibit that was unexpectedly cancelled.
