A wasp nest discovered by a student during the harvesting of materials inspired this work. I noted the interlocking but individual nature of the cells in the wasp nest and thought it a valid metaphor for the Quaker values of individual responsibility and community togetherness. The elements of the sculpture are clustered in the center of campus, where pathways cross, and provide a mazelike interior of interconnected rooms.
