Reclining Woman is a large sculpture situated outside southeast corner of the Academic Quadrangle. Michael Dennis often produced large forms from wood left behind by loggers that in some cases are carved to suggest anthropomorphic forms; Reclining Woman, has been lightly shaped to suggest a human form. Some have speculated that this sculpture is a mate to another work by Dennis located at a park in Mount Pleasant. In 2013, the park took the vernacular title of that sculpture as its name, and is now affectionately known as Dude Chilling Park. This work is part of the Simon Fraser University Art Collection. The SFU Art Collection contains over 5,800 works. Approximately 1,000 works of art are shown throughout the campus and integrated in public, administrative and common learning spaces. A selection of the most accessible in this diverse repository are incorporated into the City of Burnaby Public Art Registry.
