Wonders, large and small.

Over the past couple of months there have been sculptures popping up all around Laramie, particularly around campus. I decided to snap a few pics of these outdoor sculptures as I found them, so I could share them on my blog.

First I want to show you the brand new sculptures on campus.

This sculpture is done in concrete covered in rusted iron. It can be rotated on its base by several strong individuals, and is located on Prexy's pasture in front of Half Acre Gym.


This one is done using tree branches wrapped around a frame. The openings are large enough to walk through. This one is in front of the Education and Ag buildings on Prexy's.


This sculpture is located in front of the Ag building, on Prexy's. It is done with either galvanized steel or aluminum, I didn't check. It would be great to put someone in the middle and have them pose.


This is the main part of a two piece sculpture located in front of the A&S building. The other piece is just a stone column with a piece of metal through it, like the one on the right here.

In front of Ross Hall there is a long sculpture that is composed of many materials including steel, glass, plastic, and even dirt and grass. The middle is like a huge I-beam and the ends remind me of tractor troughs full of turf.


This sculpture looks like a rusted set of squiggly lines, but inside there is a little chair that you can get to by walking a small path through the innards of the sculpture.


Last but not least I wanted to point out a few sculptures that have been on UW since before I came to school. Starting at the the top--Ben Franklin, Trex, UW family, and the Puma Steel sculpture beside the Engineering building.
