Located (2003) in the field north of the
T.C. Douglas Building.
Artist: Douglas Bentham, R.C.A.
(Canadian, born Rosetown, Sask 1947)
has been a full-time sculptor based in
Saskatoon since 1969. In 1979 he wrote "For as long
as I have been making objects I have been concerned
with how these objects 'sit' -how they occupy space
in relation to the ground, to the sky. The vastness of
the prairies, the enviroment in which the majority of
my sculptor is made and first displayed, is an
imposing one. To hold its own in space, to keep it from
being 'blown away' visually (and sometimes
physically!), sculpture must display a firm conviction
for position, for presence -a visual stability and
place". (artscanada, Oct-Nov. 1979)
