A subtle fountain (dry the day we visited in Mar 2013) serves as the base for this fascinating sculpture by Shelly Bender, a local artist.

"Mobility" by Shellie Bender
Location: Lawrence Visitors Center
402 N. 2nd Street, formerly the Union Pacific Depot
Year purchased: 1996
This piece, created by Lawrence artist, Shellie Bender, is sculpted out of stainless steel and features a fountain at its base.
It has somewhat of an allusion to the Earth on its axis. Though stationary, everything about it suggests motion, perhaps referring to the trains nearby.
Location: Massachusets Ave. and 2nd St., just north of the bridge."
