    Sculpture
    Owner: 
    University City Science Center, 3500 Market Street, Monell Chemical Senses Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
    Remarks: 
    The sculpture, which relates to the Monell Chemical Senses Center research into taste and smell, was commissioned by the University City Science Center as part of the Redevelopment Authority's one percent program. According to the publication, "Public Art in Philadelphia," the artist first used a brass laminate to coat the exterior of the piece, but when it started to weather, she replaced it with the gold-leaf patina. Both the SOS! survey and its cover sheet note the gold-leaf patina, as well as brass.
