Take for example an inter- active sculpture by Joe Kerman who spent studio time at Sector 67 modifying an old telephone; when a viewer dials a number they hear excerpts from the interviews. In contrast, Briony Morrow-Cribbs (below), who received her MFA from UW Madison and subsequently taught etching there, made a hand-tinted etch- ing in which two nuzzling human-lizard hybrids are her answer to the question "Is there a language of love?"
