Molecular Dog - A bronze depiction of the Propane compound, consisting of 3 Carbon & 8 Hydrogen molecules.
“Molecular Dog/C3H8.” The bronze sculpture was created by Miami artist Robert Chambers.
The propane dog is not Chambers’ first foray into blending science and art. According to the artist’s website, his father was a cell research scientist, and his mother was a painter and sculptor. When he was a child in chemistry class, Chambers found that he was able to remember molecular formulas by associating the structures with animals both real and mythological. To him, ethanol became a dog and sugar became Cerberus, the three-headed hound that guards Hades. With his current sculptures, Chambers ushers those mental associations into the material world."
