Jarrett Hawkins of Deer Park, Ohio created the imposing Corten steel sculpture 'The Limits of Spoken Language: Congeries.' The sculpture, with its massive vertical forms, some in motion and others more static, was installed in 2010 as part of the renovated Risman Plaza project and is located on a raised area in front of the Main Library. The project received funding from the Ohio Percent for Arts Project and is one of several sculptures on the university's Esplanade Path Walk.
