Students in the ILE Fine Arts group visited the
studio of Yellow Springs sculptor
Jon Barlow Hudson.
On the way students stopped to see his sculpture,
“Tree of Knowledge” (above), outside
the Yellow Springs Public Library.
At the studio (below), students found Mr. Hudson
in the process of sanding the piece of granite he is working on for
Cedarville University. The granite piece is 29
ft. high and weighs 5400 lbs. It will be
installed on the campus in June 2008. The granite came by truck from
Minnesota, where Mr. Hudson had chosen the piece from the rock face in a
quarry. It was then trucked here to Yellow
Springs. It requires a crane to move it or turn it. He is now in the
process of sanding the surface and will also be adhering polished steel to
the central opening.
