But the faces there are more than sculptures. They form a burnished time capsule of who these students were and what was important to them when they cast their countenances upon the world.
The collages also include a personal history of Bennett himself. Every two or three years, he creates a sculpture of his own face and fits it in among those of his students.
The professor plans to retire in three years. As fate would have it, there are just enough empty spots left on the University Center walls to accommodate his remaining collages.
