Walking Molecular Flower
James Surls
Powder coated steel
BioScience Research Collaborative Plaza
Capital Building Fund Purchase
Walking Molecular Flower combines Surls’ typical flower motifs with a dynamic molecule formation. The sculpture seems to be perched on the plaza, almost in motion, juxtaposing symbols of nature and human beings with their essential, molecular building blocks. Walking Molecular Flower's biomorphic themes are especially suited to its location outside the BioScience Research Collaborative (BRC) building and the adjacent Medical Center.
