Glyph - University of Arizona - Tucson, AZ - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

This tall steel abstract is one of those sculptures that puts your imagination to work. I can see several different things in this work of art, the most prominent being a space-ship type structure. There are two steel poles sticking out from different directions, each with an elliptical bulb on the end, with the base the same, but inverted. The sculpture is in a nice desert landscaped area on the northeast corner of the Student Union.
