USC sculpture W draws attention H tr\ cfn/^/anf orficf tv OlUUViil CIL tlOl By KRISTI POTTS jLj Sitting in the corner of a grassy area between the Thomson Student Health Center and the Thomas Cooper Library is "The Wall." The bronze sculpture has drawn attention for years and was named by former student Danny Berry. He said he installed "The Wall" without authorization Nov. 7, 1979. He was a USC student from 1979 to 1982. , Some of the symbols featured in the sculpture in- ' elude coins, a human head, a guitar, a mushroom ? % "3 and bricks. A turtle is also included in the ^ _ j sculpture, created by Berry's son, Shane,who was . 8 years old at the time. I Berry said a wax model of the sculpture, which I was the first stage, took about four months to t finish. He said he then cast the statue in bronze in October. It took Barry a week to polish the bronze. ? * The types of coins, including the years, were originally visible when the sculpture was complcted. But time and weather have worn down the ,y statue, and the types and years of the coins arc now difficult to recognize. Berry said the hand symbolizes the power of the human hand breaking out of the wall. He said he sculpted the face to look up to the sunrise and used V - r the guitar to symbolize music. H ~ He said his philosophy then was "to do it and put it in there." He said he wanted to fill the void , V in the wall, which had been left by the workmen ,JH who constructed it. Berry said he dug up the bricks he found in the y > ground near the sculpture and put them back into the wall with concrete. / "My object is to do works that people will see," V he said. '"The Wall' touches a lot of people. That is art to me." Chris Robinson, an art professor said, "One of the interesting things that contempory artists are Hi doing is to construct cultural bombs. "Danny is the best kind of artist. He does not i f";;" become constrained by what the art world or society tells him he has to do.
