- Julie SpeidelÂ
- Central Oregon Community College
- Julie Speidel was selected from three finalists for a sculpture commission for the new Campus Center Building for Central Oregon Community College. The sculpture and base will be 10 feet high and will be positioned next to the main entry. It will provide an identifying signature for the campus and will be an inviting entrance and gathering place. Â The piece is titled 'Full Circle".
The sculpture consists of five interlocking organic shapes. The shapes and their relationship reflect strength and support -- two important aspects of educational experience. Smaller cubic shapes are captured and supported by two geometric shapes that draw on the concept of the school environment, sheltering and cultivating while not restrictive. The sculpture juxtaposes organic shapes as a counterpoint to the rectangular elements of the building and courtyard. This creates interplay between the strong architectural design and the human element.
The sculpture is scheduled for installation in September 2009.Â
