Artwork on Campus
Pathways, by renowned New Zealand sculptor Dr Paul Dibble.
The work was gifted to the University by the Stuart Residence Halls Council in 2016. The work includes five figures and a cross modelled on the national emblem of Scotland (the St Andrew’s cross). The sculpture’s five figures are purposely non-descript but have individual imagery: moving forward, putting your best foot forward, looking ahead, resolute and let us rejoice. |
