ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Life, The Universe and Everything is a suspended glass and aluminum sculpture created by artist Maya Radoczy. She created the installation to hang in the clerestory tower at Enterprise Elementary School's library. Three curved tubes connect colorful and whimsical cast glass elements. These elements suggest galaxies, planets, and nebula. The beauty of the cosmos and human exploration of space inspired this piece.
