Block 34, a vacant, city-owned lot in downtown Stillwater that has been targeted for redevelopment as a public green space, became a little more colorful Monday as the fence surrounding its large wind turbine was transformed into a colorful expression of art. Yatika Fields, a renowned Native American painter and muralist from Stillwater, collaborated with Pouya Jahanshahi, a Graphics Design Professor at Oklahoma State University, to transform plain wood into swirling windswept patterns in vibrant colors. They worked in a variety of acrylic paints, using both brushes and spray paint to create a dynamic design reflective of the wind turbine itself, expressing the idea of “energy” in all its forms and creating a visual “mystic poem” that reflects the energy of the wind being captured in the towering wind turbine above and in places, echoes the shapes of the turbines themselves.
Dr. Louise Siddons will give a paper titled “Lesbian Invasion: Road Trips, Queer Freedom, and Settler Colonialism on the Navajo Nation,” in a session on “Crossing America: Road Matters in Art, Photography, and Visual Culture,” chaired by Peter Han-Chih Wang (Butler University) and David Smucker (Pratt Institute) at the Southeastern College Art Conference (SECAC, https://secacart.org/) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The conference will be held October 16-19, 2020, and the panel is scheduled for Saturday, October 19 from 10am - 3pm.
