Calyx Dome 3/28/2010 5:58:58 AM |
The Calyx Dome was built on the campus of Holland Hall, a private school in Tulsa, Oklahoma by Laurie Spencer and Daniel Cajamarca. It is 18 ft. tall and took 10 tons of clay to build. It was fired over a 5 day period.
A calyx is the cup-like base which holds a flower. The form of the Calyx includes both the cup form and the sepals or green petal forms below the flower. The top of the Calyx Dome is an inverted calyx shape. The calyx is often the area of the flower where seeds form and develop. The Calyx Dome is symbolic of the safe place where growth and change can occur. |
