Artwork description
In 1975, the College commissioned two artists to complete a sculpture for the purpose of enhancing the grounds of its Kirkland Campus and eventually the grounds of its permanent campus. These two artists, George Velinger and collaborator Michael Williams, were also members of the teaching staff of the college.
The sculpture was relocated in the spring of 1980 to the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue campus.
