Steel Sculpture

Scott Mental made a series of several sculptures as part of his master’s thesis. A former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, bought it for exhibit on the front lawn of McMaster College.

This steel sculpture made by a University of South Carolina art student and displayed at the arts college was vandalized with paint thrown on it.

Campus police are investigating who blotched the 2011 sculpture by Scott Mental with blue and green paint, university officials said.

Whoever did the deed left paint cans behind, according to a Facebook post by a current USC master of fine arts student.

Now it has become a part of the sculpture.
