For the artwork Kidman (Trixie), Mike Bouchet produced a bust of Nicole Kidman working with the sculptor in residence of the Cathedral of Guadalajara, Mexico. A negative form was produced of the original clay model, and then cast in ceramic. The fired ceramic object was then painted with automotive lacquer. After this, Bouchet packed the painted ceramic bust in bubble wrap, and deliberately dropped it on the ground. Bouchet then personally glued the pieces of the broken ceramic back together and filled the interior of the bust with fiberglass and polyester construction foam to permanently secure its final form.
