“Ode 3”

Ode 3
2007
Medium:  Watercolor Paper
10″ x  7″

Hand-carved from a watercolor block, this paper sculpture is inspired by the fierce winds scattering the surfaces of Lake Turkana in Kenya. Complex geometric forms are intricately interwoven and portray the movement of wind and water. The Ode series started while Fernando worked as an artist in residence at artist/photographer Peter Beard’s “Hog Ranch” in Kenya. Fernando Apodaca’s artwork explores natural processes such as growth, obsolescence, reproduction and entropy.
