One of the pieces, called \u201cBalance\u201d actually balances in the scorpion yoga position. Another called \u201cPlay\u201d reflects a human skeleton in recline. The third piece is a Florida bobcat. Jimenez crafts every joint, tooth and bone from perforated copper and then puts the bones together to create a \u201cskeleton of expression.\u201d<\/p>\n
The art is displayed outside the College of Medicine\u2019s new state-of-the-art anatomy lab.<\/p>\n
Jimenez began studying anatomy after suffering serious injuries in a car accident. She took human dissection courses at the 海角直播 of South Florida and became certified in kinesthetic anatomy, massage therapy and personal training. \u201cI believe the body is a spiritual thing and during dissection you see that the skeleton is a map of the body. It reflects the life and the injuries of the person. I couldn\u2019t imagine a more appropriate place for my artwork to be than the College of Medicine\u2019s Anatomy Lab,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Andrew Payer, professor of anatomy at the College of Medicine, welcomed the artwork at the lab he helped design. \u201cI think the donation is awesome,\u201d Payer said. \u201cIt\u2019s a blend of anatomy with art. And medicine is certainly a mixture of science and art.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the pieces, called \u201cBalance\u201d actually balances in the scorpion yoga position.
