From One to Z
The 70-foot long stream is a hub for students and faculty who sit and read on the stepping stones at Eastern Washington University, WA. The sculptural environment defines the campus, contextually connecting the buildings around it through stepping-stones derived from ancient clay Sumerian tokens. Enlarged in bronze, they educate the public on the technological connection between counting tokens and cuneiform writing discovered by archaeologist, Denise Schmandt-Besserrat. On another level the artwork alludes to the stepping-stones of civilization.
