The frieze located at the entrance to the Nursing School is fabricated from porcelain enamel and was created by scanning electron microscope images of biomineralized sea sponges, a multi-cellular organism. This image was appropriated from an archive at the Weizman Institute of Science of biomineralized specimens. Catherine reworked
and digitally cloned the image thousands of times over to create the appearance of floating cells.
