Marvin Nelson’s “The Seedling,” a sculpture depicting two young children discovering the wonder of growth, is the second acquisition for Southern Utah Museum of Art’s (SUMA) forthcoming Stillman Sculpture Grove. The work captures that inquisitive spark in all children, young and old, that ignites their creativity. Cast in bronze and created by Utah-based artist Marvin Nelson, this new work has found a temporary home on Southern Utah University’s upper campus between Old Main and the Braithwaite Buildings. A gift from donor Larry Stillman, “The Seedling” will live on campus until its relocation in early summer 2016 when SUMA is completed.
