Baby Brownell was born as part of an arts project at Trinity, created by Mark Yanagisawa ’14. Students studying sculpture with Associate Professor of Fine Arts Patricia Tillman were asked to create a site specific work on campus. Yanagisawa, a mechanical engineering major and architectural studies minor, created this as a juxtaposition to the iconic Bishop Brownell statue on the Long Walk Quad to “free some of the seriousness of the bishop,” and to make it more accessible to students. Next year, Yanagisawa will be in Chester, Penn., working as a mechanical engineer for Kimberly Clark Corporation.
