Awesome.

It was a great day of friends, family, and strangers giving new life to the city fabric.

The humble beginnings of a Nutalist at work.
The thumb's up.
Even the little people helped.
Give me some skin.
These guys make it look easy.
Thanks to the whole team for an amazing job. The sculpture now stands tall in it's temporary downtown home.

Raise the HAND!

SATURDAY, JULY 26

City Hall Commons

Downtown Syracuse

The final touches are being made and we would love you to join us as we raise the Hand!

We hope to see you there!

The concrete bones are ready

The forms are stripped from the concrete. Here they lay, awaiting their connective tissue.
Wooden 2x6s provide the tendons.
Two-hundred pounds of concrete anyone?

Creating The Hand

Building the Forms
A form constructed with wood which will serve as a concrete mold. The Hand will be assembled in pieces, sections of concrete supported with wood and metal.
