2016 < View Public Art Projects Eco-Quilt 2016 Temporary Art Project Created during her artist-in-residency at MOAH:CEDAR, Jane Ingram’s Eco-Quilt was formed out of twenty hand-made paper squares with wildflower seeds imbedded in the paper pulp. The quilt depicted poppies and contained different wildflower seeds corresponding to the color of the paper. It contained California poppies, California bluebells, white poppies and baby’s breath. A headboard and footboard were built from local willow branches and local participants were invited to help install the project. Eco-Quilt was located at Hull Park in Lancaster.

2020 < View Public Art Projects Little Giant by Ann Weber 2020 Permanent Art Project Ann Weber is an American artist who transforms the ordinary medium of cardboard into impressive large-scale sculptures reminiscent of pods, gourds, and organic spires. She views the psychological component of her artwork as one of the most important aspects; between representational and abstract, Weber invites the viewers to bring their own associations to her artwork. Composed with a palette of simple circles and cylinder forms, Weber’s work represents the symbolic male and female forms in the natural world while tying in architecture and historical references to evoke memories, relationships and morality in her sculptures. By casting ordinary cardboard into bronze or fiberglass for public art projects, Weber illustrates that things are not always what they appear to be and the humble origin of the materials are part of the innovation, charm and humor of artwork like Little Giant . Weber states that, “when you put a seed in the ground, the first thing that happens is a sprout. I felt what my content was, or what I was saying, had to do with these very primal kinds of forms...Ultimately my interest is in expanding the possibilities of making beauty from a common and mundane material.”

back to list Amir Fallah Amir H. Fallah creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that utilize personal history as an entry point to discuss race, representation, the body, and the memories of cultures and countries left behind. Through this process, the artist’s works employ nuanced and emotive narratives that evoke an inquiry about identity, the immigrant experience, and the history of portraiture.

back to list Hueman Allison Torneros, known as Hueman, is an Oakland-based graffiti artist and painter. Her best-known works include a Nike-commissioned portrait of Kobe Bryant, a mural for P Diddy's Revolt TV office and "Ritual", a 9-day, free-styled, floor-to-ceiling mural installation in a 5,000 sq foot warehouse space. She often draws on the human condition to create colorful mash-ups of the abstract and figurative, and the beautiful and grotesque. Hueman's unique freestyle process involves creating tightly refined compositions from a spontaneous beginning of paint splashes, drips, and sprays. Through this method she is interested in creating motion and dimension on flat, two-dimensional surfaces, and her layered works can be seen on public walls and in galleries worldwide.

2008 < View Public Art Projects The Musical Road 2008 Permanent Art Project In September, 2008, Honda Motor Company constructed a musical road on Avenue K, between 60th Street West and 70th Street West as part of their Honda Civic ad campaign. After several complaints from local residents, the street was then paved over to alleviate the nuisance that it created. However, after much public interest, the Lancaster City Council decided to reconstruct the road and relocate it to a more remote location on Avenue G, between 30th Street West and 40th Street West. Both projects used the same melodic line from Rossini’s William Tell Overture. However, possibly due to miscalculations during the engineering process, the melodic intervals are quite different than the actual tune, while the rhythmic patterns are accurate. This is the first musical road to be constructed in the United States, and is only one of a few located in the entire world.

back to list Nuri Amanatullah Nuri Amanatullah is an Antelope Valley-based painter, illustrator, and designer whose stylized, graphic depictions of flora and fauna are represented in a variety of mediums including illustration and large-scale murals. Employing both traditional techniques and digital media, Amanatullah has designed for Disney, storyboarded for Uber, illustrated for Airbnb, and painted walls at numerous sites around the Antelope Valley including a mural with Antelope Valley Walls in 2018, as well as in Flint, Michigan as part of the Free City Mural Festival. He has also lent his talents to the non-profit Housing Corporation of America for the past three years helping to jump-start and brand a wide variety of art programs at affordable income housing properties. Illustrating animals and plants in a colorfully bold and vibrant style, Amanatullah subverts the idea of the desert as a barren and desolate setting by exploring the intersection of our everyday lives and the natural world. These brief, chance encounters with wildlife take place in the “vacant” spaces between housing and commercial developments, highlighting our own place amongst nature--often at odds with it, and far separated from our surroundings.

back to list Darcy Yates The bustling city inspires Yates artwork. Her aesthetic is line, shape, color and pattern. She associates colors and shape with emotion. As she grew as an artist she started to understand the values of these simple fundamental forms. She uses color, shape and line in each of her pieces to convey these emotions. Photographs are a dominant feature in most of her artwork because she loves the raw emotion it conveys. Yates work is gritty, colorful and embodies the essence of soul and imagination.
