2. • An abstract sculpture by artist J.Brough Miller
was created in 1984 , located at Northlake college
outdoor and University of Missouri campus
Columbia, MO.
• This is geometric abstraction where Spire
represent the traditional academics while the
spire on the triangular base symbolize the
contemporary aspect of education.
• visual texture of the sculpture complements
the way has been designed(rusty and stiffness).
Placement of the round shape which is
descending towards the ground depict the sense
of kinetic art (movement)
3. I think use of the material and geometric
shapes to form an abstract sculpture gives
message of old and new approaches can work
together to produce positive results. I like the
simplicity of the sculpture and I think artist has
successfully summarized the importance of
modern education
