ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Macro/Micro Discoveries by Clay Enoch shows two bronze figures that represent the student body. Enoch notes that the sculpture “is a statement about the explorative nature of learning, where new worlds open up, big and small." The abstract subjects that they study is symbolized by the artwork's glass elements. The two figures are united by the rectangular frame, "the window to the worlds of discovery."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Fife Public Schools.
