Faculty and staff honors
— Linda Vanderkolk, coordinator for foundations design classes in visual and performing arts, and Scott Frankenberger, Purdue alumnus and former visiting ceramics instructor, installed a 30-foot by 5-foot tile mural at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, Calif., on Jan. 28 through Feb. 4. Their design, "Tessellation Tango," was selected two years ago in an international design competition. The mural is made from about 950 diamond-shaped ceramic tiles that create a pattern similar to M.C. Escher's work using bird shapes.
