Three Pillars
Pillars ~ capturing the evolution of an institution ~
This sculptural public art project was designed and created by sculptor Dana Provence to celebrate Adams State becoming a university. On August 7, 2012 Adams State College became Adams State University. The work consists of three, seven and a half foot tall sculptural forms, one made of hexagonal basalt stone, one of bronze, and one of stainless steel to represent the three stages of Adams State, respectively: Teachers’ College, Liberal Arts College, and now, University. Joining a host of other public art on campus, this new addition was sited at the Southeast corner of Richardson Hall.

La Pietá à la Retool
This sculpture explores the intersection of biblical language, that of God’s chosen “instrument” in Acts 9:15–16. Jesus the Christ is shown as a reduction, a symbol in lieu of an icon, through the lens of the Retool sculpture series. This sculpture intends no disrespect but hopes instead to stir discussion concerning the most important series of events surrounding the person of Jesus Christ the messiah.
