Life Sculpture Students Create Personal Works of Art
■ Art students’ recent works
reflected creativity and
personal experience.
BY MARSHALL BENBOW
FEATURES EDfTOR
A third floor room of Hanes Art Center
was turned into a gallery for expression on
Wednesday as students in Elin Slavick’s
body imaging class displayed their multi
media sculptures. From a wire mesh bust
covered in bottle caps on one wall, to
gravestone rubbings surrounded by moss
lining the floor along another, student art
ists displayed their semester projects.
The pieces were often very personal
expressions of their creators’ lives. In one,
a human bone hung suspended over a
pillow of diapers as red beans spilled down
onto the floor. “Dear mommy, I am sorry
I was bad and did not eat all my beans this
morning,” was written on the tile.
Courtney Fitzpatrick, a junior from
Eugene, Or., said she was trying to express
appreciation for her mother. “(It’s for) ev
erything that she gave me, and I have made
a pillow for what’s left for her,” she said.
The beans remind Fitzpatrick of her
childhood because she ate them a lot, and
the bone, which she got at Carolina Bio
logical Supply, refers to her mother.
“His Camera and His Belt” is an auto
biographical piece about child abuse, said

Traditionalism is not something that
immediately comes to mind when one
thinks of the Chapel Hill music scene.
However, traditionalism is exactly what
The Jumpstarts have in mind when they go
in to the studio—a traditionalism that the
seven members (Shane Hartman, April
Howell, Mike Isenberg, Kurt Mueller, John

from sounding stale with their emphasis
on creativity and experimentalism within

its creator, Eliza Bulla.
Bulla, a senior from Greensboro, found
some undeveloped photo negatives at her
house. The photos were of her and her
sisters when they were younger. Belt marks
criss-cross the pictures and a thick brown
belt hangs down the center of the piece.
Slavick said she encouraged her stu
dents to show their pieces. “ I think it makes
them finish it in a way they wouldn’t nec
essarily do otherwise,” she said.
The art in the classes was graded for
form and content, Slavick said. While what
the students have to say is important, how
they effectively convey their message is
also critical.
The course title is “Life Sculpture,” but
Slavick said she wanted to extend the focus
into using mixed media. The addition of a
darkroom in Hanes Hall was an asset to
that vision, she said.
Not all artists made statements that were
quite so personal. Scott Little, a senior
from Durham, displayed two pieces in a
series that focused on the human form in
its simplest sense.
In one, he placed sugar cubes on a
wooden backdrop and then sprayed them
with urine, bile and blood. These repre
sented the simplest elements of the human
body, he said. Little said he got the blood
from Cliff’s Meat Market.
In the other piece, Little put a large
hairball on a backdrop of metal He found
the hair in the attic ofhis house. He said the
hair had apparently been taken to the attic

Sharkquest, Whiskeytown and other local acts.
Are you trying to boost your reputation as more
than just a ska band?
Kurt Mueller: It’s really unfortunate
that a lot of the country and the world
doesn’t get to hear good ska music ’cause it
gets put into this closet called ska and just
sits there. A lot of good bands like The
Toasters and Hepcat, they get big, but they
reach a plateau. We didn’t want to do that.
We had an offer from a big ska record label,
Moon Records, to do a CD. We told them
we weren't interested in doing anything
with them because the bands that get on
there should be better known than they are.
We’re trying to branch out.
DTH: Ska is being labeled the next big thing.
What do you think?
Mueller: Yeah, it’s kind of like an Ori
ental philosophy the wave theory
that things come and go. I think it applies
to ska music, soul music or reggae, any
style of music. It disappears fora couple of
years or ten years but it always comes back.
John (Phillips) and I were reading an ar
ticle about A1 Green in the ’7os, he was
the stuff. He disappeared for a while and
he’s starting to come back.
Hartman: I think that we would be real

plans to use some sort of animal skin and
quick to say we’re not a whole lot like any
of the bands seen on MTV. All those bands
(No Doubt, Kingpin, Rancid) have the
same kind of sound.
DTH: What do you think about bands like
Dancehall Crashers and Rancid being labeled
as ska bands?
Hartman: Just shows how much people
know about ska. You could sit around all
day and bitch and complain, “Rancid’snot
a ska band.” Who cares?
Mike Isenberg: Making something of
the music they play I guess is the only
important thing.
Hartman: Whatever people want to call
it is what it’ll be; if they don’t know about
real ’6os Jamaican ska, they’re only rob
bing themselves.
John Phillips: I guess it’s always hard to
know if the people who make it are being
true to themselves and writing good music,
or are they just doing whatever they think
is necessary to get on MTV? It’s one of
those things you never know until you get
there. Maybe they feel as honest about
their music as we do.
DTH: What do you think about ’6osstarsre

Jamaica, he was just really flattered by
how many young kids are listening to his
music after all these years. I think it’s great
those guys are still active. I wish more of
them would do it and let the public know
what real ska sounds like and not allow the
Dancehall Crashers and those kinds of
bands to be representative.
John Willse: I think it’s a good thing as
long as the artist spoken of is.true to their
music. I think the feeling is the most impor
tant part of the music, and that’s what we
try to portray. That’s what I want to hear
from an artist I’m loyal to.
DTH: One of the main critiques of tradition
alist bands is that they rehash old sounds. Do
you get that?
Mueller: I’ve never heard that from any
body, and I’m surprised. Many of our
songs are heavily influenced by early and
mid-’6os ska from Jamaica. And you can
hear an influence from each member. John
Willse’sgotthestrongsoul influence. Tim’s
got a strong jazz influence. One person
said that April had a strong gospel influ
ence, which is obviously where she learned
to sing. That’s good, and having all these
different, diverse things, you can usually
start creating anew style of music.

Ready for
Apple Chill
■ The 24th annual event will
bring crowds to Franklin
Street and its stores.
BYAMYCAPPIELLO
STAFF WRITER
What kinds of things do people do when
they’re walking on Franklin Street on a
bright, sunny day? They shop. At least,
that’s what the managers ofFranklin Street
businesses are hoping will happen during
Sunday’s Apple Chill Festival.
This weekend marks the 24th annual
Apple Chill festival
in Chapel Hill, and
employees are ex
pecting very
crowded stores.
Managers say the
event has tradition
ally brought in large

on what would otherwise be a lazy Sunday
afternoon.
Brooke Hayes, manager of Spanky’s
restaurant, said the event drew extra crowds
into the restaurant.
“It increases the late brunch and early
dinner crowds, so that we usually double
our business at those times,” Hayes said.
“We’re normally slow during those times,
but because of Apple Chill, we get a good,
steady business.”
The managers at Bath & Body Works
said their store was also expecting extra
patrons Sunday. Angie Perrou, the store’s
assistant manager, said the store probably
doubled its business last year during Apple
Chill. “Business picked up quite a bit,” she
said. “This year we’re expecting a big turn
out. All the managers are working.”
Bath & Body Works manager Kristen
Hanson credited the extra business to the
event’s location. She said apart from the
usual front window displays, the store
would not use any special method for draw
ing in customers.
“It’s right outside our door,” Hanson
said. “Lastyearwedidn’tdoanything.and
the place was packed. We had a lot of
traffic.”
Jamil Qumeh, manager ofSubway, said
the restaurant was planning for a lot of
extra business. “We’re having probably
twice as many people working on Sun
day,” Qumeh said.
“Now they have a lot of food places at
the festival itself. We don’t do as much
business as we used to three or four years
ago. Business has dropped a little, but we
still do very well.”
