You may have suspected by the title of this post that it will be about art, more specifically, Nicholas' art. Nicholas created a proposal, submitted it, and was accepted as one of 11 artist's to exhibit at the Creative Research Lab (CRL), UT's current gallery space. This is the last non-school show for the gallery. An extension has been added to the Art building that has a gallery space, so this is kind of a big deal for Nicholas. Continuing with his exploration of breathing, he created 4 glass torsos based off of 11 year old, Matthew.
The art process began by Nicholas making a plaster mold of Matthew on a very cold day in December, hence the indoor plastering.
The process of removing the plaster casting was a little more difficult than originally anticipated.
But...Matt was a trooper and made it through!
Afterwards, he went straight to the shower, but once in the bathroom, he asked his mom to hand him his phone so he could text his friends the pictures of him in plaster!
Pictures of the opening and the finished product will follow in another post.
