Teresa Burrelsman-Stern Seattle, WA http://www.teresastern.com/ Sky Feeder "Sky Feeder" draws its inspiration from the interaction between humans and nature, and the self-discovery nature often arouses, to create a new take on a reflecting pool. Peer in and see yourself, the sky, and the trees above interlaced with the grass below, then look up and consider how you interact with the many different elements in the landscape around you. "Sky Feeder" emerged as a physical mantra, combining repetition and simple materials: 238 wood-backed mirrors mounted atop wood dowels laid out in concentric rings to form a 12 foot circular sculpture. The mirrors step down toward the center to create a parabolic bowl that gathers in the sky. Unfinished wood elements will weather naturally during the exhibit, evolving from their own time in nature. The installation is also designed to leave no lasting impact on the site, and the bulk of the components will be re-used and/or composted. Bio: Teresa Burrelsman-Stern is a Seattle artist who lives in Ballard. She has a background in architecture and design, and has been painting since high school. She is also committed to environmental sustainability, both personally and as an artist. She is a Seattle Aquarium Beach Naturalist, and spent a summer providing interpretive education at Carkeek Park. Her work often includes elements or references to both the natural and the built environment. Teresa works in oils, pastels and mixed media installations. Her paintings and drawings explore ecology and landscapes, while her installation work has to date focused on interactions with nature. She often works collaboratively with other artists, including co-creating a “Site History Quilt” on a historic barn at the Nakashima Farm in Arlington, Washington, leading an artist team to create a green roof art temporary installation for Sound Transit, and helping teach green roof techniques as part of an art class at the NW School led by local ecological artist Buster Simpson. Her installation for the H&E3 show, Holdfast, created floating salmon “balloons” out of fused plastic bags which were anchored to a found rock via marine rope. The piece was located in the tide-flats, and was subject to the ebb and flow of the tides. Teresa has studied painting and drawing at the Pratt Fine Arts Center and Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, as well as art and art history as part of architecture studies at the University of Illinois and University of Arizona. Teresa has had several exhibits of her work, including solo shows at SPACE and Shelton City Hall, and group shows at Allied Arts of Yakima Valley, Center on Contemporary Art (H&E3), Art on the Ridge and Allied Arts of Yakima Valley in the NW and at Hadley Hotel Studios in North Carolina.
