Label TextThe transparency of this sculpture in the entryway continues the linear motif of the main mural OUR HOUSE IS A VERY, VERY, VERY FINE HOUSE but takes down the saturation level substantially. The transparency is important to enable one to see the enormity of the hall while walking through the vestibule. This sculpture reflects a sense of community and celebrates the history of what ISU Dining has been providing to students for over 150 years—a place to come home, enjoy a meal and create memories with new friends.
