5. “Mobility”
Shellie Bender
Location: Lawrence Visitors Center formerly the Union Pacific Depot - 402 N. 2nd St.
Year purchased: 1996
This piece, created by
Lawrence artist, Shellie Bender, is sculpted out of stainless
steel and features a fountain at its base.
It has somewhat of an allusion
to the Earth on its axis. Though stationary, everything
about it suggests motion, perhaps referring to the trains nearby.
Location: Massachusets Ave. and 2nd St., just north of the bridge
