more on reasons not to vote for Dole

stance on issues.

He added that such profiling methods
are more reliable than those related to
psychology. “The most tell-tale thing is
geography. With geography, you are
dealing with facts.”
Godwin said only an offender who
knew the area’s intricacies could make an
escape like that executed after Monday
night’s shooting in a high traffic area of
efit Orange County because it will
ensure the county will not receive less
funding from the new sales tax than it
would have received normally from
reimbursements taken by the state.
Link said the one-half cent sales tax
increase, also known among local offi

the best option for the board to enact for
the services of the county.

Standing from a distance, there
appears to be a lesion on £he wall of the
Allcott Gallery in Hanes Art Center.
Various shades of red, fleshy pinks
and perfectly straight lines compose the
complex wound that is the eye-catcher
of Christopher Gentile’s exhibition,
“Staking Out Expansion.” The UNC
alumnus has returned as a visiting artist.
But Gentile’s exhibition isn’t startling
for its presentation alone - just days ago
none of it existed at all.
Gentile’s temporary mural is com
plex. It began as hundreds of carefully
pencil-drawn lines - lines that took
Gentile and a small team of art graduate
students more than 60 hours to craft.
The unpainted lines of Gentile’s
work-in-progress resemble something
more like an abstract blueprint. The fin
ished product, covering the wall nearly
from top to bottom, is Gentile’s largest
work so far, and in the miniature gallery
the use of space is dramatic.
Falls Church, Va., the suspect’s latest
attack. “You know he knows the area.”
The suspect’s home base likely is
nearer the border of Virginia and
Washington than that of Maryland and
the district, Godwin said.
He attributed the initial killings in
Montgomery County, Md., to a day trip
outside the killer’s home zone. “I would
suggest he was actually up there on
some other business.”
Godwin said that judging from geo
graphical data and die killer’s alleged
flight pattern, the shooter is likely to
strike east of the last attack.

Gentile likes to think of the tempo
rary painting as “recontextualizing the
intention of the three-dimensional.” The
use of straight edges and other architec
tural tools is the crux of the painting.
“This work is about striving for per
fection and falling short due to basic
human inability,” Gentile said in his
artist’s statement.
Closer inspection of the wall painting
illustrates Gentile’s message - it is
indeed imperfect. Many of the painted
lines are blotched though not messy.
From a few steps back the viewer might
not see such aberrations.
Having recently lived in the Middle
Eastern country Qatar, Gentile has been
greatly influenced by that region. The
“falling short” of intended perfection
illustrated in his art was ingrained in the
culture, Gentile said.
Though color and size might draw in
the viewer, the three-dimensional qual
ity of the art demands closer inspection.
The lines have been created in such a
way that they appear to move into infinite
space, or perhaps a bottomless realm,

“They need to watch to the east,” he
said, adding that the killer, who is grow
ing increasingly bold, likely will strike a
more sensitive target next time. “They
need to be watching out for schools.”
Though he is confident in his predic
tions, Godwin said geographical profil
ing is most effectively used to zero in on
a serial killer’s home.
“Geographical profiling primarily
tries to predict where the offender lives,”
he said. “People don’t often use it to pre
dict the next hit.”

directing the viewer’s eyes downward.
Gentile’s other works also are intrigu
ing, though not quite as grand. The exhi
bition includes paintings that hang on
the wall instead of being part of it. Small
white frames filled with unobtrusive
designs of neutral, earthy colors also were
all created to approach perfection.
Gentile, who received his master’s of
fine arts degree from UNC in 1998, was
invited by the University as a visiting artist
He has received various awards, such
as the Faculty Development Grant from
the Virginia Commonwealth University,
and he served as gallery coordinator
from 2000-02 of VCU’s satellite univer
sity in Qatar. His work also has
appeared in numerous exhibitions.
Gentile’s art is certainly striking,
though many viewers might not realize
the artist’s intent. Despite this lack of
communication, the paintings are still
well worth a look -one doesn’t always
need to understand art to appreciate it.

But Godwin said that as the killer
becomes more confident, as the difficul
ty of his most recent target suggests he
has, the attack points will edge closer to
his home base. “As (serial killers) com
mit more crimes, they get more confi
dent,” he said. “As they get more confi
dent, the points draw in.”
The sniper’s actions have become
more brazen, indicating that he doesn’t
expect to be caught, Godwin said. “He
thinks he can get by with it. He thinks he
can abort at any time.”
