"Sticks & Stones" (above) by
Binuri Lasanya Hapuarachchy, grade 9 of
Crispus Attucks Medical Magnet High School in Indianapolis is the 2014 winner of
Alpha Omega Prize for Student Art. Using a mirror surrounded by found objects---some from nature including sticks and stones and others found at home symbolizing childhood, the work reflects the shattered innocence in the viewer. The award was presented yesterday before a packed audience in Indianapolis. Twenty-five student artists explored the theme "
Journey to Freedom" as part of the 2014
Spirit & Place Festival and that makes "Sticks & Stones" my
NEWS OF WEEK.
