Title

Pat Costello building the armature of Boxer III

Description

Sculptor Pat Costello building the armature (or skeleton) of "Boxer III." A life-size reference image is posted behind his work table, while a diagram is visible under the armature, showing the intended dimensions of the finished sculpture.

Boxer III was a recreation of Pacific University's original bronze "Boxer" mascot, which was a bronze Chinese incense burner in the form of a qilin. The original statue was missing from 1969-2024. This photograph was taken by Bruce Bishop (Pacific University Class of 1968), who was among the group of alumni who funded the creation of Boxer III.
