Title, date Hygeia's Stream, 1997 Artwork, media Plaza, concrete with inlaid bronze

Project Description Over one hundred cast bronze inlays are set into the concrete paving of the pedestrian plaza that leads to the entrance of the new addition to the School of Dentistry. The forms create the image of a moving stream circling the plaza in an oval shape. Hygeia's Stream is inspired by the Greek goddess of health. The goddess, who is represented as a maiden offering a serpent a drink of water from a saucer, is sandblasted into the concrete at the far end of the plaza. At the entrance to the building, a bronze inlay depicts Hygeia as she has been found on the face of an ancient Greek coin.
