Church painted his idea of an ideal untouched landscape. This piece was capturing a natural oasis of the time.

The colors become dark and moody on rainy days and light and happy on sunny days. This change charges the piece with life and makes it so each viewer has a different experience every time they visit. The design is supposed to mimic being submerged in a pool. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265173831 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174056 Waterfall points to the importance of the viewer's role and vantage point in defining nature. Natural elements do not have parameters such as front, back, east and west. Instead, they are constructed in relation to the presence of a human whose physical position determines the ways natural wonders are experienced and seen. While Waterfall appears seamless from one side, Fernández has left the work's aluminum structure and fabrication to be seen. Throughout her career, she has consistently balanced the beauty of her works with aspects of their structure, revealing them as constructions of nature rather than illusions.

Fernández was always incredibly inspired by Japanese art and their inspiration of nature.]]> 2018-06-02 21:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174239 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174332 The sublime qualities of this peice are absolutely breathtaking. Fernández seeks to capture the unfathomable qualities of nature in her artwork as well as the beautiful wonders of our world. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174332 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174458 This is a perfect example of Fernández's innovative use of materials and installation space. She turns the room into a 3 dimensional drawing. she alludes to this with her use of charcoal. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174458 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174573 Finding the beautiful in the imperfect is something Teresita Fernández did seamlessly.This can be seen with her exposure of the back of waterfall. ]]> 2018-06-02 21:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174573 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174596 2018-06-02 21:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174596 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174812 The stillness and the idea that everyday the sun will come up is something Teresita Fernández implemented. She reinforces the idea of nature being ever present and also ever changing. This video shows one hour of sunsets around the world: a beautiful force of nature that is always unique but still happens everyday and continues to stun whoever is watching it. ]]> 2018-06-02 22:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174812 js3664 https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174847 Holt put these tunnels outside as a canvas and let nature do the "painting". Both artists use light as a focal point to influence their work and to charge it with life. ]]> 2018-06-02 22:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/js3664/znurusu9srm8/wish/265174847
