Overview
This suspended sculpture enlivens the 30ft high stairwell in Maury Elementary School’s library. A six foot diameter armature holds 8 cables graduated in length to match the slope of the stair rail. Acrylic shapes dance in midair and catch the morning sunlight from the curtain windows opposite the sculpture. The stairway provides seating for students to read their favorite books underneath the colorful geometric forms.
