Artist creates underwater atmosphere for students
Mural symbolizes college experience
By Anne Sutherland Special to the Kansan
What was once a billboard ad for a plant store now hangs on the east wall of Wescoe Terrace in the form of a colorful mural.
The mural, painted by Trey Parker, Lawrence graduate student, is the result of a project begun in Fall 1992 by the KU Student Art League.
The league held a competition to find an artist to take on the project which was sponsored by Student Senate. Parker's idea was chosen by a panel of three judges: Charles Eldredge, professor of art history, Roger Shimomura, professor of art, and Stan Herd, a local artist.
Parker said the original criteria for the competition had asked for the mural's subject to be about food. After talking with the judges, he decided to submit a different idea, which he drew from his graduate studies.
With the help of seven assistants from the league, Parker took four months to complete the project. He painted blue water designs over the original design of flowers and trees on the billboard to convey a feeling of being underwater.
Trey Parker, Lawrence graduate student, sits beside his mural which hangs on the wall of Wescoe Terrace. The new mural has attracted a lot of attention from people eating and working in the cafeteria.
"The whole mural looks as if you're underwater," Parker said. "The design represents the submersion you feel in college. You either breathe or you drown."
The feedback from students about Parker's mural has all been positive said Karen Haas, Wescoe Terrace cashier.
"We get a lot of comments on the mural, and I see students just stop and stare at it during lunch." Haas said.
"It definitely catches your attention," Ye Chen, Derby senior said. Chen's friend, Lai Wong, Malaysia, senior, who was taking a break at Wesco Terrace between classes, also found the mural interesting.
"It's very eye catching." Wong said. "I like the way they've redone the whole cafeteria."
Parker said that the painting was completed late last summer but that it
had taken a while to actually get it hung in Wescoe.
"It been just sitting over at the fourth floor of the art and design building since I got it done" he said.
Student Senate, which approved $950 for expenses related to the painting of the mural, lost track of the mural's whereabouts last October.
was more a case of bureaucratic panicking"
"That really had nothing to do with me or the art league," Parker said. "It
Parker's future, like his mural, is bright. His work was recently seen in Kiosk, a student magazine, and one of his works was featured on Cable Channel 6's program "Silhouettes."
Parker will officially sign the painting at 3 p.m. on Feb. 3 at Wescoe Terrace.
