Oxidized steel, manipulated NSG Pilkington glass products, local sandstone
Using repurposed materials, this seven-foot-tall steel and glass helix emerges from a massive, locally sourced sandstone block, and stands at the entrance of a newly built Science wing. The sandstone base represents "home" for all students. The helix, with its reflective glass represents community, while the cast colors and shadows reference the persistent growth of the students as they advance. Textures and shapes within the glass panel allow viewers to contemplate and reflect themselves.
This sculpture was commissioned by the graduating class of 2020 to commemorate a year of loss from Covid-19, and to dedicate a future of new beginnings.
