Etude was commissioned for the entrance to the campus of Applied Materials Corporation. The sculpture consists of two large granite discs, referencing the silicon wafer, which is at the root of the advancement of modern high technology. The discs are scribed, carved, and chiseled with abstract drawings that are the artist’s interpretations of technological breakthroughs. Integrated with the discs are a large bronze compass, calipers, dividers, and a micrometer, depicting precise measurement and calibration. Seven granite benches provide an area for contemplation.
