STEVE JANZEN senior writer Zirkle Gallery's latest exhibits dis- play a creative study in shape and shad- ow and a completely unique experiment in ceramics. The Artworks Gallery hosts sophomore Rob Mir's "Twists & Turns," a collection of 10 paintings and graphite drawings. "I think people take art too seriously," Mir said. While he doesn't claim any deep, underlying theme that ties them together, his works are united by the shapes they contain. The subjects of his work are taken from folded cloth, rope and twisted eraser pieces. The slightly surreal quality of the pieces reflect this, bringing in a sense of atmosphere that keeps the works from being too grounded in the reality of what they represent. The works are mainly studies in shad- ow and shape, although some feature a combination of either folded cloth or wind- ing cords that reach into infinity. The shapes are carefully rendered, especially in the case of the graphite drawings, where each line seems to be precisely and pur- posefully placed.
