Location: State Office Building site on Penn Street

Artist: David Hostetler; Athens, OH

Date: 1978

Material: bronze

Description: The sculpture is a surrealistic interpretation of a naked woman. The woman appears to be growing, as a plant, from the earth. This is possibly a reference to the earth mother of mythology or the natural quality of womanhood. The piece was not damaged when last examined. However, it was obscured by low hanging, overgrown tree branches, which should be trimmed.
