Shaw worked with the Washington State Arts Commission and the Dean Hall Art committee at Central Washington University in Ellensburg WA to create an art treatment for the Dean Hall Renovation.  The renovated Dean Hall is now home to the Anthropology and Geography Departments and their Resource Management Program.  Shaw’s artwork, RESOURCES, is informed by the interlinked condition of human and and natural resources.  8 vase sculptures line the entry walkways, and a river of mosaic dots winds through the interior and exterior paths.  The artwork was installed in July 2009.
