Critically acclaimed artist Les Christensen uses everyday objects in the creation of her works of art, as shown here in a 2005 piece titled Flight From Servitude. The piece consists of spoons, wood and paint, and screws. Christensen is married to fellow artist John Salvest, who, since 1989, has taught sculpture and three-dimensional design at Arkansas State University (ASU) in Jonesboro (Craighead County), where the couple lives.
