Description: This fountain consists of a concrete stair that holds several large boulders. The water cascades down the stairs, around the boulders, and fills a small pool at the bottom., Alice Wingwall is a blind artist. She suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degenerative disease of the eye. She relies to a great deal on her other senses in envisioning her art, and designed the fountain in the courtyard by the sounds water makes when falling on rocks. Wingwall earned an M.F.A. in sculpture from UC Berkeley and was a professor of sculpture and director of the studio arts program at Wellesley College. She has explored many different mediums, and she trained in stained-glass fabrication in Paris. She co-directed a film with Wendy Snyder MacNeil titled ""Miss BlindSight/The Wingwall Auditions,"" which won Best Independent Film at the 25th anniversary New England Film and Video Festival., http://www.kqed.org/arts/people/spark/profile.jsp?id=4133, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
