■-foot flag pole decorated with
■inted designs standing at the
■uth end, a 95-foot steel vine
Bllis covering a mosaic
Blkway leading to a stack of
Bnent blocks covered with
Bick stucco. “A Flag Tower
Bith Arbor” is the name of
Bisage’s contribution. “He
Bnted a piece that established
Bis area as a sculpture garden,
B art park,” explained True.
■Rather than working with odds
■d ends found around the art
■iter, Dick Pickering was drawn
Bre to the boulders. “Dick
Bnted to some how suspend
Bm, to take the boulders, each
Sighing well over 1000 pounds,
■t of context, and discover them
■ a new way,” remembers True,
■thin two months Pickering
■d completed his sculpture, the
■owering Boulders.” The col-
■nn stands 12 feet high, four feet
■de, on a base of bricks and
■ass, with four boulders hung by
pel cables one on top another up
e center.
At present Kosage’s and
ickering’s sculptures are the on-
iy two, of four in the garden,
instructed from recyclable
nterials. Over the next 10 years,
bwever, Rick True, “hopes to
Intinue funding and would like
us to become a show case for
Bth regional and national
Bulptures.”
■ “Now we’re finalizing the
■etails,” explains True, “and in
Be future we would like to create
■ least one sculpture a year.”
■ “For a miniscule amount of
ney, the college gets a wonder
piece of artwork,” concludes
The four boulders in Dick
Pickering’s sculpture, each
weighing well over lOOOlbs, are
suspended above one another
by four steel cables.
