Unplugged By: Kathy Nichols	The phrase "plug in" brings to mind the constant need for manufactured sound in our culture.  Doctors' offices and supermarkets now blare TV shows.  MP3 and Ipods include plug in speakers with which to fill the surrounding space with sound vibrations.  My piece is in favor of the sounds I prefer.  The sounds of Nature -- unplugged  Detail Of Bird And Tree Branch
Plug In To Green By: Wanda Kline	My moveable paper sculpture expresses my deep desire that the entire world will figure out how to plug into a green lifestyle, for the benefit of our planet and out children.  With the plug in the out position, the world in the sculpture is not green.  With the plug moved to the in position, the whole world turns green.

Hare Plug By: Kerry Treasure	I got to thinking that men don’t seek hair plug therapy very often anymore and, instead, a cosmic shift seems to have occurred by which men with male pattern baldness have decided to proudly shave and wax their heads.  Here, then, is perhaps the last “hare plug” of the 21st century, made from, what else, an ear plug.
Iconic Phallucus Impregnatus Mystericus (PIM Icon) By: Kerry Treasure	If our civilization ever disappears and is later excavated by archeologists, they will find millions and billions and trillions of plugs.  Surely they will thing that these prodlific items were ritualistic religious or sexual icons.  Here is my imagined museum explanation of the sacred object, unearthed in the year 4011.  Click the link below for the scientific deductions made about these mysterious objects.
