Stewart Readings pgs 256-287

In this section i was interested in the artist George Segal, The Subway. I stayed longer looking at that artist. So i went further and wanted to see more of his work. It was neat to learn that he was the first to use gauze strips with plaster as a sculptural medium. He would wrapped  models with bandages in sections, then removed the hardened forms and piece them back together with more plaster to form a hollow shell. The hollow shell itself became the final sculpture leaving the rough texture of the bandages as part of the art. I like this guy. Here are more pics:
