Location: Kerr Hall, along Nelson Mandela Walk

One benefit of winter in Toronto is that things obscured by leafy growth during the nicer months are often more easily appreciated. This bas relief of a student athlete about to let fly his javelin is a great example. It is one of six similarly athletic figures created by Thomas Taylor Bowie to adorn Kerr Hall, opened in 1962, when Ryerson was still a Polytechnic institute. Bowie was a Scottish born artist who emigrated to Canada in the 1950s and became Director of Sculpture at the Ontario College of Art.
