second row first on the left shows it most clearly. can't find a better picture and can't figure how to link to it better.
that's a relatively new sculpture that appeared central on campus on the new paving stones.
people... depicted as being comprised of basic shapes (replaceable parts). some of them have graduate hat shapes on. most of them have balls in their hip joint.
the statues will wear into a greenish colour. sort of like a greenstone. a greenstone is a semi-precious stone that is too prevalent to be particularly precious... though i guess larger chunks of it... some nice carvings have been done in greenstone for jewellery and ornament by maaori. not heaps because why bother when biggest bully takes it and claims to have made it himself??
most of the art is commissioned... oppressive, typically. this is a good instance. the future of orthopedics for new zealand. the vision...
materials science.... there is another one that is an ode to materials... i can't even find that one. basically.. cheaper and tackier and cheaper and tackier...
