Break

Break is a sculptural fountain created by Bruce Watson that was installed beside the Mathematics & Computer Building.



Commission and Installation
The fountain was commissioned by the Works of Art Committee in 1971. It was created out of fibreglass by artist Bruce Watson and installed in its current place beside the Mathematics & Computer Building. It is said that the shape of the sculpture "echos the elliptical silver ovum found in the centre of the University Mace." During the warmer summer months, the pool at the base of the sculpture is opened up, and the fountain allowed to flow.
