Siller is “using the class as a sounding board” for her senior sculpture project, and her haunting and strangely familiar work probes beyond the body and into the nervous system.

...thick as a phone book boasting these as well as more than 1,100 beers from 60 other countries, this cellar bar is a shrine to the brewer's art.
