Next stop on the #StuartCollection tour: Bear.⁠
⁠
⁠
Tim Hawkinson, renowned for creating complex sculptural systems through surprisingly simple means, imagined a bear constructed of boulders. ⁠
⁠
Eight granite stones - torso, head, ears, arms, and legs - were found locally. Together they make a bear 23'6" feet high with a total weight of 180 tons. ⁠
⁠
Bear sits in the Academic Courtyard formed by three signature-engineering buildings: Atkinson Hall of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, the Computer Science and Engineering Building, and the Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall.⁠
⁠
The Bear in this world has an astonishing and memorable presence. It has inspired many students who have given it Valentines’ Day “heart glasses”, an entire crew team uniform, and a “Beary Potter” costume.⁠
⁠
Curious for more?⁠
