Artists of Santa Cruz
is participating in the Broadcast Cable Series
From the Ground Up
by providing the casts of body forms
created by ceramic artist, Richard Smith,
who has finished with these plaster molds
and who is making them available for the
Temple to the Arts being created in the series.
From the Ground Up.
The forms are shown here laid out on recycled pieces of metal roofing, so none of the exterior paint being used to coat the molds goes to waste.
The Paint is recycled paint available from the local landfills, and is being used to stiffen up the molds, protect them from moisture, and will be getting several more applications of various colors to allow them a more appealing and protected surface.
They will be on-hand for the next concrete project, currently being planned to create a pad for the Dimension One Spa, so as not to have any cement wasted.
Once the molds have been filled with cement,
they will be positioned about the gardens and roadway access as sculptural forms which can be embedded into retaining walls or as stand alone art.
Shown here is a form of the artist, Tamara Lynn Scott,
which she painted in the fire tones of yellow, red, and white, to be utilized as mosaic in the fire circle currently underway.
