GREAT SHAPE: James Myford, Slippery Rock University professor emeritus of art, created "Triangular Form." The aluminum sculpture was installed in the Quad for the inaugural Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition.
Art professor emeritus sculpts legacySLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - It's not that he doesn't like paintings, fiber or ceramics – he does. It's just that James Myford, Slippery Rock University professor emeritus of art, has a different passion – aluminum sculpture. "I just really fell in love with that particular metal," he said.
Myford, who taught at SRU from 1968-1997, is an internationally known sculptor. Sunday his fame will be celebrated closer to home. SRU's Art Sculpture Building will be renamed the James C. Myford Art Sculpture Building in recognition of his contributions as an artist and educator. The festivities will take place during a reception at 2 p.m. at the facility. (read more)
