SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford College embraced “A Green Season” on Wednesday, Sept. 19, with the formal acceptance of the sculpture by local artist Mayo Mac Boggs. The ceremony was held around the multi-piece sculpture located among the trees across from the Sandor Teszler Library.
The sculpture was designed as a piece of environmental art that will draw attention to the space around it. The elements echo forms of leaves and seed pods, branches and trunks. One piece literally embraces a large oak.
The artist Boggs is a professor of art and department chair at Converse College. His work appears in numerous collections throughout the United States, including the presidential libraries of Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. Well known for his abstract paintings, steel sculptures, bronze work, computer graphics and architectural designs, Boggs continues a family tradition of ironwork.
