Argyle by Daniele Frazier, 2010

Daniele Frazier completed her first outdoor public art piece as a recipient of the Socrates Sculpture Park Emerging Artist Fellowship in Queens, New York. Both the park and the fellowship were founded by sculptor Mark DiSuvero. Her piece, titled Argyle, was created in the park's outdoor studios over the summer. It stands at 16 feet tall and 10 inches wide and is constructed out of marine plywood, coated with industrial enamel, and depends on a 2-foot steel and concrete footing underground. So far, it had survived one tornado. The piece will be on view at the park, 7 days a week, until March 6, 2011 http://www.socratessculpturepark.org

Gabby Miller collaborated with Lisa Radecki (OS13), Matt Hunter (OS5), Nyssa Zinn (OS5) and Oxbow New Media Instructor Pattiann Koury for a very fun art show at The Spare Room Project in San Francisco. It was excellent to have so much Oxbow in one small room.

I want to thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful, thank you for running this incredible program. And half of my acceptance to RISD is because of Oxbow. (Especially thanks to Chris who wrote my letter of rec, to Jennifer who revised my essays, to the admissions team who helped me with my portfolio.

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.

— Sara DeLong, Spring 2010

It's been a whirlwind week, but also a time when I sang the praises of Oxbow to my colleagues. I've been thinking much about how Oxbow is an exemplar of true education. That art centers the curriculum is hardly surprising, and for those of us who work within the traditional educational mold Oxbow offers a gold standard of focused project based learning. Beyond the school's approach to immersive experience are the intangibles which make Oxbow different. The sense of community and of working together, even as each student retained their strong individual presence is palpable. The feeling of warmth and trust between the adults and the nearly adults in the Oxbow community could be felt throughout the campus. The openness of the architecture and interconnectedness of the three studios in themselves speak of the Oxbow philosophy and identity. More than form follows function, the physical attributes of Oxbow have a distinct warmth and invite exploration.

I'm sure that the ongoing challenges of leading and reinventing your school might sometimes keep you from having the time to see Oxbow with the fresh eyes of a visitor, but your steady presence and vision are really visible in every detail. Thank you for inviting me to one of the most profound experiences in my career.
