work in progress: water columns

What began as a sketch a few months ago has now (almost) become the newest sculptures in the studio! The ‘Water Columns’ are steel frames with plankton inspired ceramic forms suspended within the frame. The steel was fabricated by my husband Nate, and he gets extra points for figuring out all the math to cut the angle iron just right to get everything to match up, it was really tricky but he did a great job! Now I’m working on getting them painted and then will add in the ceramic forms with steel cables. Excited to see these actually come to life find a home in the sculpture garden.

I’ll be sharing these pieces during Todos Santos Open Studio Art Tour January 31 + February 1st from 10 – 4 and they will be exhibited as part of the Art Baja Patio exhibition late March, come see them in person!

El Nido!

The sculpture garden just got a little bit cooler with the addition of our new nest! El nido has been a work in progress over the past few weeks and it was just recently finished. Javier and Julietta of Arte con Madera del Desierto worked their magic weaving palo de arco into this amazing structure. We’ll be adding a table and benches to complete the shaded picnic area soon.

Come visit El Nido in person!

Latest Addition to the Sculpture Garden

It’s still a work in progress but we are adding a shade area to the sculpture garden that will be our picnic area, its a dome shape with two arched doorways and it will be woven with locally sourced palo de arco sticks that will give it a nest like structure.

Right now, the workers are designing the skeletal structure of the form with rebar and anchoring it to the ground with concrete footings, the steel is coated in a mesh and tinted concrete skin to protect it and help it blend into the natural wood. Next the wood will be woven and braided into the structure.

Here’s a few images of the the mock-ups and work in progress of El Nido…
