Geocache Description:

A favorite piece of public art on our most used north-south bike route in Emeryville, this seemed like it deserved a Cache in our E'Ville series

Via Waymarking.com: The Chosen is a ceramic and steel sculpture about 77 inches long, 22 inches high and 10 inches deep (in relief). Two object protrude from the artwork, a large meteor rock and the head of a human avoiding being hit by the meteor. Faint writing of the title, sculptor and date can be seen up close. The artwork was part of the artist's graduate thesis and was owned by the University of California at Davis. Now it is installed at the 45th street Artists Co-Op.

Don't know the history of this piece of public art on Horton Street, but we've been bicycling by it for years when we traverse this route.  If anyone can inform the geocaching community more about this art, please share in a log. In any case, some in the Leatherboot clan think it's a meteor about to hit a guy who is shielding himself from it, others insist he's just swimming and not alarmed by the passing astronomical phenomenon. In any case, the cache is nearby, not on the sculpture, we believe the geo zone coordinates are accurate, and you are looking for a magnetic nano.
