Sculptures

These sculptures can be found behind Pannell. I'm not really sure of their meaning, but they are very interesting. If you aren't looking closely you might think the pipe is just a pipe. However, if you take time to look at it you will notice that there is a sculpture of a person inside. The other sculpture is a rock. I'm not sure of its significance, but it's pretty interesting. Did students design these? What did they want us to think when we saw these?

Butterfly Garden

The butterfly garden has always intrigued me. When I first came on a visit to Sweet Briar I saw this on my tour and thought it was awesome! I'm not sure when it was made or when the butterfly's come, but I hope to see when all the butterfly's come. I think it must be beautiful! The garden is located near the train station and while you can't see the shape of the garden standing so near to it, if you go up the hill a little bit you start to see that it forms an X. I can't wait to see the garden when it has all of the butterfly's!

Daisy

This "plaque" is found on your way into the old gym, Williams Gym. I know we had talked a little about it last class, and no one has figured out where it came from. When we went to the archives on Wednesday I noticed that someone had taken a picture of this and stuck it into the Daisy section. I'm really curious as to where is came from. Is it old enough to be from when Indiana was around? Or would it be something that someone relatively recently had made? Every time I go into the gym her eyes seem to follow me, and it's a little bit creepy! I wish we knew more about where it came from, it surprises me that no one knows more.
