This New Year’s Eve, SMFA alumni Nicole Seisler (BFA ‘04), Dennis Svoronos (BFA/Dip ’05), and Hannah Verlin (BFA ’05), along with students in faculty member Mags Harries’ Installation I course, will create work for Boston’s First Night activities as part of “Shrink Wrap Sculptures.” “Shrink Wrap Sculptures,” First Night’s new public art initiative, consists of large-scale three-dimensional objects that are skinned, or covered, with marine shrink wrap. Six teams of artists were commissioned to create sculpture for the event, which takes place on the Boston Common Parade Grounds along Charles St. Seisler and Svoronos will construct Common Thread, a 35-foot needle and 10 large threads that represents the way Boston Common acts as a binding agent for the city’s varying neighborhoods. Verlin’s sculpture of a giant dragon tail emerging from a trash can and Installation I’s flying buttresses will also be installed and shrink-wrapped on the Common by December 30.
