Commissioned with a generous donation from Agape Senior, the piece entitled “Moments” was created by artists Shaun Dargan Cassidy and Tom Stanley. Both artists are faculty members in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Winthrop University. The stainless steel sculpture is composed of open box structure with an attic above and a tree root system below evoking memory and a collected lifetime of stories. These elements combine into a new sapling that grows up from these symbols of one’s life moments. Artist Shaun Cassidy explains “‘Moments’ was designed to use recognizable imagery to act as triggers to provoke associations with memory, decay, growth, the past and the future. The sculpture is intended to be both contemplative and aspirational and to provide a quiet moment of beautiful visual poetry on Main Street.” Cassidy adds, “We are grateful to One Columbia for the opportunity to create a significant permanent work in such a prestigious location in Columbia.”
