In Defense of Science
Eowyn Burke (UCB)

Ceramic, glass pipettes, radish seedlings, sand
This "sculpture" acted as a "growth apparatus" for small plants (each pipette arranged around the exterior of the lantern had individual radish plants grown within. Each of these plants was attracted to and grew towards the light at the center of the lantern). Not only did the sculpture hold the seeds in an incubator-like format, it also represented the place where the seed came from (in form). In this sense, the piece spoke of the connection between life, death and the eternal.
