Godwin's Story

"This thought-provoking piece was created by Mel Chin, Lamar Dodd Professorial Chair of Fine Arts (1994-1997) and two of Chin’s students from the University of Georgia’s MFA Sculpture program, John Watts and Joe Girandola (both class of 1996) using stone donated from a local quarry in Jasper, GA. Widely known by its nickname “Godwin,” the left side of the statue is the face of 19th-century naturalist Charles Darwin while the right side is based on Michelangelo’s depiction of God on the Sistine Chapel ceiling."
