I was rather amused by the incidents that Jean and Jacquie describe in which engineers make art. Is there some principle that says that engineers can't make art? It is generally agreed that one of the things that separate humans from animals is that they make art. If cave people could make art, why not engineers? After all, as my husband, the engineer points out, he designs things for a living. The metal sculpture is very attractive as Jacquie points out. However, I find the creation of the Engineering department that Jean describes even more fascinating from a conceptual standpoint since it is actually a work that explores the nature of art. It would benefit from an artists' statement though. "Members of an engineering department apply paint randomly to a board in an ironic commentary on contemporary art" perhaps. Devon
