Mounts First Exhibition
 After graduating from Holy Cross in May 1996 with a degree
in philosophy and studio arts, David M. Gyscek lived in Asia for a year
working in the Republic of Korea. During this time, he traveled
to Nepal and India where he studied the lost art
of wax sculpture. He recently completed his first solo show, entitled Rhapsody
of a Burnt Dancer, which was a collection of what he calls "constructed photographs
and sculpture."
Commenting on the show, Joanna
Ziegler, professor of visual arts and Gyscek's mentor, remarked: "The fact that
David's momentum and creative personality began its formation at Holy
Cross - and for me to have personally overseen the first steps of his marvelous,
disciplined journey - gives me great joy. It bestows tangible meaning to
my calling to teach art to students, many of whom live in a world that is generally
unappreciative of the importance of art to a full and human
existence."
