Missouri Western will formally dedicate two new sculptures Monday in the atrium of Remington Hall. The pieces are called “Evolving Trefoil” and “Music of the Spheres,” and were created by sculptor Brent Collins of Gower.

The ceremony is at four p.m. Wednesday. Following the ceremony, Dr. Carlos Sequin, a collaborator with Collins, will present a seminar titled Artistic Geometry at MWSU: The Connection between Art, Mathematics and Computer Science,” at 5 p.m. at Agenstein Hall. Both the dedication and the seminar are free and open to the public.

As part of the construction of Remington Hall and the renovation of Agenstein Hall, Missouri Western commissioned two large sculptures by Collins, who specializes in mathematically oriented art. “Music of the Spheres” is set outside the north entrance to Remington Hall on Downs Drive. “Evolving Trefoil” hangs from the atrium ceiling.

Collins has been sculpting since 1968. His work has been exhibited not only at art galleries around the nation, but at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill., and the American Association for the Advancement of Science headquarters in Washington, D.C.
