Convolution

Convolution was a sculpture that was once installed beside the Physics building until it was destroyed with explosives.

Commission and Installation
It was large and made of red fibreglass, and was described as looking like a "worm".

Vandalism
One night in September 1975, the sculpture was damaged using hand tools and dragged from its position. The artist was brought in to repair the damage and the sculpture was fixed.

Destruction
However, in 1976, the sculpture was once again targeted by vandals and this time they succeeded in damaging it beyond repair. This time the vandals used a primitive explosive to do the damage. The sculpture was removed shortly thereafter and placed in storage until at least 1978.
