Synthesis at Artspace: the Dia de Los Muertos Robot by Michael Neal Phillips

If you take your kids to Artspace to enjoy art projects, one of the professionals you'll encounter is the painter-sculptor Michael Neal Phillips. He seems to be making the transition between the Robots exhibit and the coming Dia de Los Muertos show with this piece.

Like the kids, he sat on the floor with colored chalk and brown paper to fashion this graceful piece. SRAC's Sharon Bennett told me that "Michael had one of the 'cadets' pose for the outline of the figure. It is a model for one of the projects that will be done during DIA."
