A stuffed bear slits the throat of a stuffed rabbit on the steps of the Doudna Fine Arts Center on Tuesday. The two animals, along with the others scattered across campus, were the brainchildren of senior studio art major Nyssa Watts. Watts placed the animals across campus as a part of a project for her Contemporary Art History course. She was inspired by the work of artist Mike Kelley. Kelley believes that during some point in our lives, we have all experienced some form of emotional, mental, or physical abuse that was repressed. He creates works of art that he hopes will help to relieve the trauma.
