After moving through the Observation, Place, and Narrative units, OS29 welcomed their first Visiting Artist,
Ana Teresa Fernández. Ana is a Bay Area artist who has her toes in diverse array of exciting projects, many of them based in performance and social action. (Former Oxbow Visiting Artist Klea McKenna published an excellent interview with Ana on her wonderful website
In The Make -- check it out!)
Ana's Oxbow residency focused on working with commonplace materials to create dynamic, content-rich sculptural works. In a quick warm-up exercise, students used colorful masking tape to make ephemeral sculptures that responded to the unique Oxbow landscape. In a longer, more focused project, students explored the idea of a "hybrid," using a single 4'x8' sheet of cardboard to create vibrant sculptures that combined two seemingly disparate themes or objects. Materials were limited to the one sheet of cardboard, paint, and other simple construction tools.
