Daniele Frazier

10/28/15

Daniele Frazier is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Mill Valley, California, she graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in 2007, where she received the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Trust Award. Frazier was a student of Oxbow Fall 2001.

Frazier's sculptures are created in a variety of media, often including locally found or store-bought objects which highlight the general time, season, or location the works were made. Her sculpture and works-on-paper address the question of how to simultaneously be critical and find personal meaning in popular and consumer culture. Frazier recently opened D+T with artist Trenton Duerksen. D+T is a collaborative storefront studio space in Brooklyn, New York, that is both an open-door studio as well as experimental exhibition space.

Frazier's work has been shown at Guild & Greyshkul, Museum 52, Rivington Arms, Ritter Zamet, Socrates Sculpture Park, and Gavin Brown’s Passerby, among others. Frazier's public sculptures have been shown in Miami and New York. An interest in collaboration and all things theatrical has also lead to many cameos in other artists’ performances and videos.

In the year leading up to Oxbow, I became obsessed with the program, I was entranced with reading testimonials and researching interdisciplinary learning styles. When I arrived at Oxbow I was never disappointed, despite my endless expectations. I will forever cherish the time I spent at Oxbow and the connections I made there. Through Oxbow I was able to hone into the ideas I was thinking about, to refine my artistic process and to see the world in a new light every day of my life. I'm not going to say that without Oxbow I wouldn't be the person I am today, but I will say that without Oxbow it would have taken me at least four years to become who I am after one Oxbow semester.

Artistically, I learned a lot of new techniques and mediums while here. I had access to much more than before and I made the most of it. I tried everything I could and always talked to my teachers and peers about new ways I could make art. Every so often, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. Experimenting with technique and testing my artistic boundaries has helped me realize how many paths I have to choose from in the art world and that makes me excited for the future.

At Oxbow, the eye and the hand are inseparable from the mind and because their peers are also artists, students adopt fresh attitudes toward their work.
