Actual Size Artworks with Dean Proctor, 2019
This artwork arises from the idea of nature as a source of healing and inspiration. Across time and place, human beings have sought relief and respite in the natural environment and its flora. This “pathway to discovery” through landscape and a vessel encourages us to contemplate the transformation of plants into medicine. The College of Pharmacy, with its emphasis on creating and disseminating knowledge through education and research, encourages a deep consideration of our human condition, with the goal of improving health and well-being. The interface of plants and science provided our point of departure for this project.
