4C'S: CULTIVATING, CRAFTING, COLLECTING, COMMUNITY + ARTIST TALK

Mixed Media Group Exhibition, 4C's: Cultivating, Crafting, Collecting, Community, Opens February 8 at Positive Space Tulsa

4C's: Cultivating, Crafting, Collecting, Community features artwork by three transplants to Oklahoma: Leticia R. Bajuyo (Norman), Cassidy Frye (Tulsa), and Christyn Overstake (Ada and Shawnee). Each artist brings their own sense of place as they engage with their new homes. Inspired by domestic spaces and landscapes, they use forms and materials to be OK.

About the Artists: Leticia Bajuyo presently creates, lives, and teaches in Norman. Bajuyo creates sculptures, visual poems, and site-responsive installations inspired by cyclical patterns. Her continued research of cultural privilege and internalized pressures of assimilation yields a drive to create visions of comfort, containment, and control.

Growing up in a military family, Cassidy Frye was raised around uniforms and multiple moves without a sense of permanence. This continues to shape her work, by expressing the feeling of never finding a place to call home. Home is not a permanent place that she can return to, it is a place that follows in travels.

Christyn Overstake is a multi-disciplinary artist. Their background as a certified welder and fabricator in manufacturing informs their material and process decisions, as well as their conceptual and philosophical frameworks. Overstake works primarily in metal foundry and fabrication processes, producing an evolving series of experimental, conceptual objects.
