A 12-foot abstract sculpture created by Bob Doster now stands in the atrium of the James Bradley Arts and Sciences Building at USC Lancaster. The sculpture was a gift from an anonymous donor to the Educational Foundation of USC Lancaster. It was determined that the best location for displaying the sculpture was the Bradley Building Atrium on the USC Lancaster campus.
Because of the size of the sculpture and the openness of the atrium, the work now enhances and refines what was once a bare space.
“The sculpture represents the trials and tribulations of a student,” said Bob Doster, the creator of the stainless steel sculpture. “It symbolizes a student working to climb the ladder of success. Although they may have trying times, they keep climbing to persevere and achieve their goals. The sculpture is something the students can both enjoy and relate to at the same time."
“Doster's work has become a familiar feature of the Lancaster campus," said art proefssor Fran G. Perry. "You do not have to look far to see his work in different areas of the campus. His work is intense and whimsical at the same time and well known in and out of South Carolina.”
Charlie Bundy, president of the Educational Foundation of USC Lancaster, added that the sculpture adds character to the atrium, a place on campus where students and the community alike can enjoy this piece of art. He said the Foundation appreciates the beautiful sculpture given by the donor.
“It provides additional visual interest in the Atrium," he said. "This donation is just another example of how so many people in and around Lancaster support the university in so many ways,” he said.
