Merging painting, sculpture, ceramics and engineering, six diverse artists have come together to create a site specific sculpture for Art Prize 2010. All six artists currently reside in southern New Mexico.
Janice and Bill Cook are artists who own the Potteries, a working ceramics studio in Mesilla, NM. Janice Cook has been a studio potter for 30 years, working primarily in porcelain for the last decade. Also a potter, Bill Cook is also an Exhibits Fabricator at the NM Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum. Jeanne Rundell shares the studio with the Cook's, creating contemporary paintings and sculptural works. Corey Asbill is an electrical engineer who specializes in photo-voltaics at New Mexico State University, who brings a 'green" sensibility to the project. Also connected to NMSU, Jim Billings is a Resident Scenic Lighting Designer and instructor. Cassandra Lockwood, originally from Grand Rapids, is a painter, fiber artist and historian. Together, we make up the Desert Fish Collaborative.
Got my felted fish this week. It is really beautiful. Thank you!!!
Michael - many thanks for your generous contribution! We really appreciate your support. You are an official fishie now!
When I visited The Potteries several weeks ago, I was lured in by the project. I am glad to see they are progressing swimmingly and hope they land the big prize.
