Frazier's Implied Water, 2013

Daniele Frazier was interviewed by Don Undeen of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The article is titled "Creative Technologist Interview: Daniel Frazier's Implied Water."

"I like the idea that objects in the Met's collection can be used as inspiration and raw material for new works. For that reason, when I recognized a model of a Met object 3D Notion, a recent exhibition of 3D-printed works at the Bruce High Quality Foundation University, I was immediately intrigued. The artist, Daniele Frazier, had incorporated a 3-D model of Jean Antoine Houdon's Bather (from a fountain group), a sculpture in the Met's collection." - Don Undeen, Senior Manager of the Media Lab, Digital Media at the Met

As an alumna of OS15, I'm happy to be back on the river! I obtained a BFA from CalArts where I focused on painting, printmaking, sound, text, and public arts programs. My work with CalArts' Community Arts Partnership and co-founding, site-coordinating, and teaching with Nomad Lab was life changing and further convinced me of the power of arts education. Returning to Oxbow seemed like a perfect way of synthesizing these experiences and giving back to a community that shaped me so much as a teenager. Over the past month alone, rotating through the studios and observing the academic classes has been such an informative experience and I'm grateful for this huge opportunity to work with all of Oxbow's phenomenal teachers and students.

At the end of their third full week at Oxbow OS29 students ventured off campus to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge on a beautiful morning.

In the afternoon they visited the de Young Museum to view the exhibition Richard Diebenkorn: The Berkeley Years.

After an eventful day of art and architecture, they were treated to a campfire, s'mores, and a well-earned sugar-high.

Henry David was rescued from the streets of Oakland in 2012. While he splits his time between Napa and Alameda he considers himself "mayor" of both communities and is a dedicated member of the Oxbow staff. Henry is a well-respected philosopher, therapist, spiritual guru, canin model, party animal and, most important, lover. He is an avid connoisseur of figs peaches and Pupperoni. Henry David is particularly adept at making friends (human or otherwise), coercing unsuspecting strangers into giving belly-rubs, and playing the "cute card" when found guilty of things he shouldn't be doing. His primary mission at Oxbow is to offer emotional support and guidance to all.

It is with great sadness that we send news of a loss in the Oxbow Alumni family: Jennifer Bobrick, OS22. We will remember Jennifer's joy at seeing what her Final Project drawings looked like when lit from behind on a light box. Jennifer found her voice here at Oxbow.

Jennifer was a sophomore at the University of New Mexico, studying art and psychology. She wanted to become an art therapist working with children. To share your memories go to the memorial page created by her parents Amy and John Bobrick and brother Eric James.
