Artwork Spotlight: Nancy Hairston

Now that the Rapid 2010 Conference is over and all the artwork has made it back home, we are going to spotlight the finished artwork here over the next few weeks.

To start we have Hancy Hairston's Bronze Sculpture. Click here to read her artists statement.

Fresh from the Printers

SculptCAD held an impromptu open house to display the first round of artwork to come back from the printers. On the wall are 3D computer images by (L-R) Bert Scherarth - Building, and Column, Shane Pennington - Tree Top, Brad Ford Smith - Chicken Neck Johnson, 2 more by Bert, Heather Gorham - Rabbit.

The sculptures for the most part were just unpacked, so the artists have not had the opportunity to work on the physical sculptures yet. What you are seeing is the equivalent of a cake that has just been pulled out of the oven. They still need to be frosted. Above is the artwork of  (L-R, B-F) Erica Larkin - Figurative Busts, Brad Ford Smith - CNJ, David VanNess - Bull Elk, Katherine Batiste - Robotic Boy,

Heather Groham - Rabbit

This is one of two rabbit sculptures by Heather. In this one she has painted the plastic resin to give it a soft velveteen outside and a bleached bone white interior.

Jerome Weeks, reporter from KERA Art & Seek and SCRA director Nancy Hairston snap a few pictures of artist Shane Pennington as he demonstrates how the Phantom stylus works. Jerome hung out at the SculptCAD studio for a few hours talking with some of the artists about the SRCA program.
