PROPOSAL: Placing a sculpture on the upper lawn area west of the Student Center/Book Store/Art Gallery. The proposed sculpture would be that of an egg standing upright with a crack running around the top with a pair of eyes peering out from the inside the egg. The egg would be 5 to 6 feet in height and 2.5 to 3 feet in diameter.
Message: This piece represents a sense of purpose and establishes a justification for the goals and the coarse of study each student chooses on the path to achieving their goals and objectives. Next to the sculpture there will be a plaque that reads:
" A chick cannot spread its wings and soar with eagles until it first ventures outside its' shell. If it stays within the supposed security of the shell it will stagnate and eventually rot and decay, never achieving the heights for which it was created. No one else can do this for the chick or for you. So bust out and go for it, reach for the sky." Squaticus Aquaticus 07/09
In the words of a soon to be internationally renowned ceramist, currently a graduate student at CCA, Rie Hirai "Gofoit".

The mysterious statue really causes one to stop and think about what is looking out from the egg. Nice presentation.

I like the idea behind the egg sculpture. Very thought provoking.--Heather
ReplyDeleteIt works! A simple shape under a shady tree with a quickly identified message:"break out of your shell and grow in your talents, knowledge, and abilities." Are those your eyes peering out? Great. Wouldn't want to see Mork crawling out from that egg.
