The Entomologist

Created by artist Susie Chisholm of Savannah, Ga., the sculpture of three individuals observing a tiger swallowtail butterfly represents one of the primary missions of a land grant university – providing education to the general public through the Extension service. 

The sculpture includes small details, such as insects, to encourage onlookers to explore it for hidden surprises. It’s meant to be an interactive display and touching is encouraged. More information on Purdue Agriculture News Website.
