The Language of Science, 2006
Laura Brodax
(American, born 1953)
Location: Seattle Central College, Seattle
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Language of Science is a conceptual artwork by artist Laura Brodax comprised of hundreds of ceramic tiles installed throughout eight of the restrooms located in the Math and Sciences building. Discussing her inspiration, Brodax notes that these tiles "explore the Language of Science from each of the disciplines taught on corresponding floors: mathematics, geology, biology, and chemistry. All of the artwork depicting the math and science imagery was carefully thought out with the help and guidance of faculty and staff close to the project."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Seattle Central Community College.
