NICKI ADANI CREATING SCULPTURE PART 2 (Suggested for Stage Five, Flow)

This month’s Master Class is Part 2 of Making Sculpture with Nicki Adani. In our May Master Class, we featured Nicki at the beginning of the journey of creating a piece a large installation piece for the Burning Man event. Now, we visit her at the foundry where the assemblage is taking place, and also talk with her onsite at Burning Man 2019, about the entire experience.

Highlights from the video:

• The idea for this sculpture was on her desire board in CVP. She would have never dreamed it would have manifested into what it did.

• If you can dream something up and determine what contributions need to be made on a project, you can do it.

• Once you have a sketch and a maquette of a piece, the rest is just solving problems.

• Nicki spent a lot of time at Burning Man viewing her piece and hearing the emotional reactions and responses from those who experienced it.

• Through the project, she learned two things: 1) Her personal process is organic. She just needs to put one foot in front of the other and respond. 2) Make decisions quickly, and take action.
