The Kircher Collection
This year's outstanding Kircher Collection showcases
the various talents of the class of 2016.
In February 2017, the College proudly launched
the second annual Kircher Collection, a
publication comprising selected major HSC
works from the 2016 Valete class. Named after
Athanasius Kircher, the 17th century Jesuit
scholar and ‘Master of One Hundred Arts’,
the Collection showcases the talents of the
graduating class of Riverview men.
The guest speaker at the presentation was
celebrated Australian sculptor and Old Ignatian,
Alex Seton (OR1994). His works have been
shown all over the world, and we are fortunate
to have one of his sculptures in the foyer of the
Christopher Brennan Library. His words on
the night, along with the evidence of his life’s
commitment to his art, were an inspiration to
the graduates, encouraging them to pursue their
passions.
The College congratulates all the contributors
who have made this Kircher Collection such a
successful and stimulating work.
