“Radiata” is a 35’ tall stainless steel and laminated glass sculpture for a roundabout marking the entrance to the Metro 31 Transit Center in El Paso, Texas.   It is emblematic of the radiant connectivity of the facility, and evokes a botanical specimen that might have grown in that desert landscape.
