'Spiral Growth' was completed in 2003 by Minnesota sculptor Janet Lofquist. Situated in the Riley Gardens, behind the biology building, Cunningham Hall, the organic form of the sculpture consists of light colored irregularly shaped Fond du lac stones set at different heights. Lofquist has made use of a spiral, a dynamic natural form to express growth. Accompanying the sculpture is a stylized leaf, which serves as an adjacent bench for seating. The work was commissioned by the Ohio Arts Council.
