Linda Beaumont
Full Circle
As you enter Harborview Medical Center's 8th Avenue lobby, Linda Beaumont's Full Circle welcomes you to the main reception area.
The etched stone and terrazzo floor combines a myriad of images from nature and mathematical forms, and quotations from many different cultures. Circles suggest individual cells, celestial bodies, the creation of worlds; suns with emanating rays show young and old stages of a star's evolution. The spiral of life evoked by the chambered nautilus, the single-celled plankton, and the perfect geometry of a beehive bring together the life force, evolution, culture and spirit.
