Revisiting the Nina Hole Fire Sculpture at Appalachian State University in Boone NC
Posted by JR on 7th February 2007
This past September I was very fortunate to be chosen by Master Potter and Monkey Tamer Ceramic Instructor Dr. Eric Reichard to work on the Nina Hole Fire Sculpture built at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.
Everyone I tell this to responds “You did what?”, and understandably so. This performance art that took two weeks of long hours and 5,000lbs of clay is not easy to explain. As a project it is intended to be seen and understood for its beauty. But the process is what makes this project so amazing. Every step was very much an art. Working together with Artists and Craftsmen that have never met, selected to create a Unique Sculpture that could not be made by just Nina or any single one of us on our own.
