    ERRATUM

    In my introduction to issue 7's sculpture portfolio, I mistakenly identified Conor Hollis as a student of Rian Kerrane's.

    Conor is, however, not a student in the sculpture program at UCDHSC.

    He is an accomplished sculptor, who currently serves as the manager of the sculpture labs on our Auraria Higher Education Campus.

    My apologies to Conor.

    Check back here in the coming weeks as we hope to present a complete and illuminating profile...
