Elody's "Memory" by Art McMannus
I came across Elody Gyekis in the Metropolitan Museum of Art sculpting a model of "Memory" by Daniel Chester French (his next project was the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln Memorial). I consider this a candid shot as she gave me permission, but did not pose. She was completing the work as part of her Master of Fine Arts from the NY Academy of Arts. She was selected as one of four artists per year allowed to work in the Museum.
