7. design included figures representing clinical academic medicine, engaged in an interactive narrative. Once selected for the commission, he requested photographs of actual people and activities at the medical school. He refined the sketches, characterized by his distinctive humor and whimsy, then returned to the committee, put the drawings on the table, and said, “Let’s lay it out.” Together, they built the story. From that time, through the forging, welding, fabrication, painting, and final installation, Mr. Greenamyer finished the sculpture in 12 months. Serving as the stage for his two-foot-tall characters is a foot-wide, 35-foot-long I beam, supported by three massive, steel supports, one at the south end and two at the north, reflecting the triangular outline of the space they occupy. At each end is the figure of Hippocrates, a smaller replica of the familiar statue on the Piscataway campus. At the south end, Hippocrates works at a computer; at the north, he listens with a stethoscope to a human heart as large as he is. Three pairs of figures in lab coats portray research: two watch an oversized, bubbling beaker; two peer into opposite ends of a large, multiarmed machine; and at the center, two others—one of them is Mr. Greenamyer himself—hold the ends of a DNA double helix. Representing education, a female figure models the endocrine system while, separately, a physician sits talking with a mother and child. Patient care is depicted by two figures, tiny and tall, performing an eye exam on an outsize head and visible brain; by a physician holding a full chest X-ray in front of his patient; and by a nurse weighing an expectant woman. 7. Prayer Feather Edward M. Adams I PHOTOS BY JOHN EMERSON n 2001, the Hemophilia Association of New Jersey (HANJ) commissioned the New Jersey artist Edward Adams to create a work of public art, dedicated to people from the community who had been infected by HIV, including those who subsequently died from AIDS. The association selected the entrance to the Clinical Academic Building in New Brunswick as the ideal site for Mr. Adams’s eight-foot-high bronze statue Prayer Feather, in which the artist enclosed the ashes of various writings and photos—mementos of those who had died from AIDS.
