10.21.19 Public Art in Austin

3/28/2020

0 Comments

 
Texas Road Trip 2019
Some of the many public art visits in San Antonio with artists Doerte Weber and her husband Ansen Seale.
Mel Chin’s “CoCobijos”

Houston-born artist Chin creates the word CoCobijos or “co-shelters” for this work that references resilience and community support. “Two-faceted cactus-like pads arc in a supporting embrace appearing to hold each other up.” The plasma cut lattice pattern resembles the xylem, interior capillary structure of prickly pear cacti.
This and other public art here were placed so as to be seen from highways, especially when leaves have fallen from trees in the winter.

Margarita Cabrera’s “Arbol de la Vida: Memorias y Voces de la Terra”
Margarita’s work filled my heart and touched my passion for community-engaged art. This 40x80 foot sculpture stopped me in awe as I rounded the bend in the path. She collaborated with 700 people, who created 700 ceramic representations of their 700 stories celebrating the city’s rich cultural history, diversity and community bonds.

Ansen Seale’s “Tricentennial Clock, 2018”
The Jewelbox Project
In historic Roatzsch-Griesenbeck-Arciniega House
​Doerte’s husband Ansen let us inside the building to see this normally “peep-in experience” installation more closely.

The public art program in San Antonio is vibrant and impressive!

Thank you to Mel Barbour Downtown Billings for these lovely photos of my “Thicket” under SkyPoint!
Thicket:
•ubiquitous to our waterways •broken, nibbled willow and dogwood branches softened by wild clematis vine and connected by entwined roots •shelter for seeds, nests and small creatures • lush, precious weaving together of ideas, beliefs, cultures, children, families and vulnerable communities within a protective haven
