Artist’s Name: Bob Nichols
Title: “About This Life: Signs, Symbols & Metaphor”
Medium: Ceramic (low fire clay and glaze materials)
Artist Statement: This mural was commissioned by the Allan Hancock College Art on Campus Committee. It has been a challenging project with numerous starts and interruptions. The title refers to one of my favorite authors, Barry Holstun Lopez, whose book of essays About This Life; Journeys of the Threshold of Memory covers a wide range of his experiences. The use of a portion of the book title reflects my desire to create a project that encompasses many references to my experiences and the technologies that have evolved during my lifetime
