Acerca de la Obra de Arte
"Molecular Dog: C3H8" is a strategically configured sculpture of the propane molecule standing approximately five feet tall and almost eight feet long. The innovative piece which takes on the shape of a dog showcases just how Robert Chambers integrates art and science to create his world-famous sculptures. Propane is a clean, colorless, odorless gas that is less expensive than gasoline, and Chambers chose this molecule as the subject of his sculpture to bring attention to the importance of ecology in today's world.
