2012
Oregon Episcopal School Sculpture Project

A wall sculpture for the Science and Math building is being desgned and constructed by Meltzer with the help of 10 middle school students. Almost all of the materials are found objects consisting mostly of computer and musical instument parts. Found wood lattice became a major part of the design and gave inspiration to a graph theme.
