Description
This view presents a detail of the eye form that ornaments the short sides of the inverted trapezoidal form that is part of Mark Sponenburgh's piece, The Guardian. The Guardian; Mark Sponenburgh; detail of west side; cast bronze; Veterinary Hosp. (OSU) "To Sponenburgh, art and nature glorify one another. Their relationship has marked his sculpture over the decades, in his animals and natural phenomena - the mounds of a cumulus cloud, the arc of a wave and the frosty dignity of an owl carved from Douglas fir - that some think will be his enduring legacy."
