Two new sculptures will be soon be adding to the beauty and interest of the LLCC campus in Springfield. These sculptures, “Take Five” and “Paradigm Shift,” are being donated by Dr. Terry Travis. They will join Barry Tinsley’s “La Terra” and be placed between Menard Hall and Millennium Center. “Stele Head” will also be moved from its current location near the Workforce Careers Center to the area near the A. Lincoln Commons.
“Take Five” is by artist Pat McDonald. The sculpture is made of steel, wood and paint. It is 12 ft. by 8 ft. by 8 ft.
“Paradigm Shift” is by artist Bruce Chaban. The sculpture was first exhibited in the 1999 Pier Walk Exhibition at Chicago’s Historic Navy Pier. It is 22 ft. by 4½ ft. by 5 ¼ ft. and weighs one ton.
LLCC students in Tom Spear‘s highway construction careers training class began work yesterday digging out the dirt and starting the forms for the concrete pads. Today they will complete the forms and compact rock, and on Wednesday they plan to pour concrete.
