back to list MOUF Mouf is a prolific mural artist in the urban art scene in Austin, Texas. He’s mentored and supported many of the city’s younger artists, while traveling internationally to spray paint his art. In his early years, he was always interested in using spray paint to create something on any surface. He has always considered himself creative and a little bit of a trouble maker. The way he got started was like most that are a part of the art form. Every time he was in a city, he’d notice the contrast of grey and colorless buildings, to the vibrant burst of colors in the shape of letters or characters.

2023 < View Public Art Projects Joseph O'Connell's Superbloom! 2023 Permanent Art Project Superbloom! is a captivating public art piece that combines the vibrant colors of the wildflowers found in Lancaster's desert landscapes with the city's renowned aerospace industry. Inspired by the resilience, healing, and growth of both our natural environment and our own human population, this art installation celebrates the spectacle of wildflower blooms, known as ”superblooms,” that occasionally grace the region. The art piece features a collection of brilliant-colored disks, carefully arranged on sturdy aluminum stalks held together with bolts and rivets reminiscent of the aerospace industry. The varying heights of the disks symbolize not only the organic growth of wildflowers but also the continuous progress and development of the community. Superbloom! serves as a visual reminder of the coexistence between nature's beauty and human ingenuity, inviting viewers to reflect on what a superbloom in the human realm would look like.

Camilla TaylorThe KnotCamilla Taylor’s monochromatic sculptures often cite figurative and architectural forms through references of the human body and home. Her work features a subtle and limited palette of blacks, greys, and graphite. For Taylor, certain colors feel too “loud,” opting for a color palette that feels more intimate and introspective. < Back Camilla Taylor, The Eye of God, Detail Camilla Taylor, The Eye of God, Detail Camilla Taylor, The Eye of God, Detail Camilla Taylor, The Eye of God, Detail 1/4 Camilla Taylor The Knot Camilla Taylor’s monochromatic sculptures often cite figurative and architectural forms through references of the human body and home. Her work features a subtle and limited palette of blacks, greys, and graphite. For Taylor, certain colors feel too “loud,” opting for a color palette that feels more intimate and introspective. Through darkness, Taylor builds imaginative worlds, beings, works on paper, and sculpture that visually pull from human emotions like isolation, loss, and fragility. Taylor’s work often shares a consistent thread focusing on the interior experience of the individual. Her haunting creations play between the space of the perceived self and the physical body calling into the question the idea of identity. Previous Next

MOC (My Own City) < Back Previous Susan Feldman MOC (My Own City) Susan Feldman’s artistic practice centers around architecture and the idea of home, primarily working with found wood and other mixed media. Her art practice is often inspired by her meditation practices and contextualizes this process through the physical act of “rising up.” Her works include wall art, sculpture, and installation, where she utilizes different textures, colors, materials, and layering. Through her meditative process, Feldman creates architectural reverie that defies conventional utilitarian structures. Completed in 2019, MOC (My Own City) is a site-specific, mixed-media installation of 50 miniature structures showcasing Feldman’s whimsical architectural fantasy. Her utopia includes buildings and structures like a coffee house, a meditation center, a funhouse, and an art museum, among others. All the businesses and properties within MOC are all establishments that she envisions for her idealistic city. Like much of her earlier work, her city is comprised of items from her personal belongings, melding ideas of both the past and the present creating a unique embodiment of belonging, freedom of expression, and inclusion.

2021 < View Public Art Projects Paleolithic Herd by Devin Thor 2021 Permanent Art Project Devin Thor presents three pieces from his raw, unique stone works that make extinct paleolithic creatures live again as a life-size sculptural herd. The use of material makes these flat works fascinating in texture as well as image. In the use of color (russet, gold, brown) and material (sandstone, rebar, and found/discarded materials), they appear as if they arose from the earth itself. The herd, which includes a buck, a doe, and a fawn, makes extinct creatures live again. Seeming tribal in nature, their beautiful simplicity serves as an elegy to the losses of the past, and a pristine prayer for a better future. According to Thor, his paleolithic creatures are “ a homage to our prehistoric ancestors, but also an exploration of the global influence of humans on our environment…” adding that “modern humans have modified the planet and now must take on a stewardship role, otherwise we might face extinction ourselves.” Thor is a geologist as well as an artist, which is likely a reason for his choice of material. The rough brown surface creates an elegant but primal visual perspective, representing a tribute to the beings themselves and the land where they once roamed. His minimal approach is relatable with an easily recognizable shape and universal figures that open the world of the past with hope for tomorrow. A poignant reminder that despite the bulk and weighty purpose of these beings, they were too fragile to survive in the end representing a cautionary tale for the preservation of many species including our own.

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.
