Campion College, located on the U of R campus, was founded by the Jesuits in 1917. It was the first institution in Regina to offer a bachelor's degree when it obtained Junior College status in 1923.
This sculpture is in its main foyer. From far away, it looks like a weird looking cross. However, the horizontal arms have spines in them and are oval, which makes it look like a fish skeleton (i.e., Christ as the fisher of men.) It also looks like a map of a coastline, with the 'fish' skeleton at the end of a river that connects to the sea (Could it be representing Galilee?)
Definitely many layers to this piece.
