Dirtying one's hands for public art

The artist Olga Ziemska and her assistant Jen mixing the medium for casting the hands for her sculpture "Flock of Hands."


Michael Brown gets instruction on how to form his hand so that it will be part of shadow dove.

Brown immerses his hand in the goop from the gloppitta-gloppitta machine.

All that remains is to fill the mold with plaster.

When it is completed, the sculpture of 20 hands will sit in front of the train station. It should be done in time for Fall Street Fair.

Virgil,

As Olga's assistant, here on the scene as of 4:18, I can say that by far, you have affected, single-handedly (hah hah) more molds than you can imagine. Thanks for the photos and the political stir. Appreciate the coverage on what I consider THE YS blog...not just "A".

cheers, dude
Jen (Olga's Assistant)
