To find the surface area of the letter C sculpture, we need to calculate the surface area of each individual face and then add them together.

1. Top face:
Area = 10ft * 1ft = 10 square feet

2. Bottom face:
Area = 10ft * 1ft = 10 square feet

3. Front face:
Area = 15ft * 1ft = 15 square feet

4. Back face:
Area = 15ft * 1ft = 15 square feet

5. Side faces (2 sides):
Area = 4ft * 1ft + 7ft * 1ft = 4 square feet + 7 square feet = 11 square feet

Total surface area = 10 + 10 + 15 + 15 + 11 = 61 square feet

Therefore, the surface area of the letter C sculpture is 61 square feet.
