APSU Center of Excellence for the Creative Arts helps restore Sculpture on Campus
June 7, 2012
Clarksville, TN – In 1985, a young Austin Peay State University art student named Mike Andrews used rebar, chicken wire and a bit of concrete to create a dazzling sculpture titled “Light Modulator.” The piece was a bright white, and it was designed to interact with the movement of the sun, playing with both light and shadow.
The sculpture was placed on a small, grassy hill outside the University’s Kimbrough Building, where it sat for almost three decades exposed to not only the sun, but also strong winds, downpours and numerous ice and snow storms. By last spring, “Light Modulator” was a dented, dingy gray slab of concrete that appeared to be sinking into the earth.
