"The sculpture that I create consists of found architectural and industrial objects that I have reconfigured, giving voice to remnants of the urban and industrial landscapes that were once an integral part of our physical environment. I feel a strong connection to the wasteland of industry. These half decayed objects that become left behind were once essential and viable to a social and economic situation and now are relics, heavy with their own histories and references. In choosing specific artifacts, I am able to assemble them to create my own found objects, which hopefully, will evoke an appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of these old and seemingly useless relics." (Artist statement from MaCleod (mainesculptors.com))
Sandy Macleod's sculpture Uplifting (2000) is located between the ISC Building and the Library.
Michael Allen Malpass was born to be an artist. Whether he chose to follow his calling, or could not help but choose, matters little. That he did so, and in an all-consuming way, is what made his life and art extraordinary. His relentless pursuit, his belief in the process of working, making art in virtually every moment, can only explain how a young artist could create such a large body of fine work in such a short time. It compels us to wonder if Michael Malpass sensed the limitation of his time.
Malpass experimented with multiple visual media to find his way as an artist, leaving behind an expansive record of creative development. As he came of age, it was the manipulation of metal shapes, extracted from the earth, manufactured by unknown persons for any number of purposes, and left behind for salvage, that caught Michael's imagination. Passion for transforming metal shapes into beautiful objects led him to hone welding and traditional blacksmithing techniques required to exert his will over steel, bronze, copper, brass, or any combination of metals that he could find with intent to purge the industrial life out of them. Freed, revitalized, time to become art (From Michael Malpass.com)
