- Glass
- Ipswich County Library, Old Foundry Road
This sculpture was commissioned specially for the County Library building. It is just inside the entrance to the library and can also be viewed from upstairs in the reference library, offering an alternative viewpoint and a closer look.
The theme of the piece is knowledge. The discs are made of different coloured glass and are based on sections of the Dewey decimal classification system used by libraries. Each disc has different images and symbols on it, and they hang in a spiral form.
It is easily missed as you enter the library, look up!
