<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">The 11 year old boy depicted on the window is laying on the ground of
the Texas desert. Heat stroke and thirsty. His ill mother is back home
in Guatemala praying for his safe passage. He is on a journey with hopes
to provide money for his mother’s medicine. But he won’t get up. He
will pass to the other realm, the spirit world. His body won’t be found
for weeks. The <i>Tierra Firme & Waterbound </i>collaboration
explores the border, water, migration and border communities. Water jugs
are left on migration routes along the border. These water jugs are
often left with encouraging messages for the harsh journey migrants
often face. Unfortunately there are also Border Patrol agents and
private groups that sabotage these jugs by puncturing them,
contaminating the water or removing them because they don't feel these
people have the basic human right to access clean water. Many migrants
die from thirst or other problems from the conditions they face on their
journey. This installation is not only an <i>homenaje (homage) </i>to those who have lost their lives in search of a better one, but also an <i>ofrenda</i> (prayer/offering)
for other migrants safe passage. The hand-made net challenges the idea
of what borders are. The border divides but it also breaths and moves.
Many people, communities and cultures get tangled in that net to give
rise to something different. The <i>Tierra Firme & Waterbound Collaboration</i> is an attempt to understand the border and the broader cultural implications of the communities they affect. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Waterbound is and on-going transmedia project that explores the symbolic and actual role water plays in our border community. Water affects every aspect of our lives: naturally, practically, ritually/spiritually, and geopolitically.</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We need it to survive. The Rio Bravo/Grande is the primary source of life for our border community, it unites us. But unfortunately our border community has come to understand the river as something that divide us. The U.S. side and the Mexican side. Something that naturally brings us together is being used to divide us through the effects of militarization and commodification. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Jon Vogt and
Abby Sherrill, graduate students at the University of North Texas, collaborated
to produce color play, currently on view at Oil and Cotton through September
5th. Their window installation explores the interplay of color relationships
through formal abstraction and pattern. The relatable materials of tissue paper
and string are used in consideration of the active learning community of
artists young and old who participate at Oil and Cotton. Viewers are invited to
contemplate and interact with the piece from both outside and inside the space.
Light is an important part of the installation, as the visual interaction
created by layers of colored tissue paper is transformed according to the
position of the viewer and the time of day. A grid pattern is applied and
translated between each window display through use of materials to create
organizational clarity and movement. In contrast to the playful color of color
play, negative space and absent color reflects and celebrates the creative
potential of each viewer.</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></span></div>

This fall Oil and Cotton is hosting Studio Swap-Meet for local artists to clean out their studios of unused and scrap materials for an evening of collective bartering, trading, swapping, haggling, replacement, and exchange. All disciplines and media are encouraged as the interchanging possibilities are endless! This is a free event designed to encourage openness and communication between local artists. </div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Below is a blog post written by Alli Rogers, an Oil and Cotton educator that leads our art and science based family activity every second Saturday at the Perot Museum of Nature and Sciece.</span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A baby screams, gravel litters the floor, and I spend the next week shaking topsoil out of my hair. It certainly isn’t glamorous, but my fingers smell like rosemary and a five-year-old is excited about Robert Smithson. Discovery Day at The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is a brutal day. Crushing crowds and cacophonous noise combine to create pandemonium throughout the museum. The day’s thematic events attract young families in particular, some of which drive for hours in order to participate. People flood the museum, armed with maps, schedules, and diaper bags. They want to see everything. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They want to visit my art making table, alluring with its herbal scent, small glass jars, and mounds of earth. Today, to go with the museum’s environmental theme, we make tiny terrariums and talk about Earthworks artists. Infants are content to dig their fingers into the soft, loamy dirt and bury their noses in bouquets of herbs. Toddlers funnel gravel,dirt, and pebbles into their jars. We take plant clippings, we overturn beakers of water. It is muddy and wonderful. Adults hover with baby wipes and weary expressions. What these parents may perceive as chaotic was planned. What seems unorganized was an intentionally planned multi-sensory, multi-age activity that provides something, though not necessarily the SAME thing, to everyone that gets their hands dirty. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> <br />I work for Oil and Cotton, a creative exchange in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas. Through Oil and Cotton, I have the opportunity to provide arts-based content at The Perot’s monthly Discovery Days as a vendor. From an educator’s point of view, this is a tall order. We need to highlight the symbiotic relationship between art and science. We need to be able to strike a balance between serving the greatest possible number of people in the most efficient amount of time while still ensuring a rich educational opportunity. We need to be a unique experience. We need to account for all ages and abilities. What can we do that is economically viable? Environmentally responsible? Safe? Representative of Oil and Cotton? That parents won’t mind lugging around in their diaper bags while holding a screaming toddler?</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Most importantly, I try to ensure that our activities are appropriate in different ways for the myriad ages our table attracts. We typically serve infants, grandparents, teenagers, and everything in between, often simultaneously. What an infant learns from our table, however, is going to be different than what their grandmother learns. The infant gets to feel the soft earth on their fingertips, gets to grasp pebbles and tickle their nose with the rosemary. A teenager tries to recreate a Robert Smithson earthwork in miniature and learns to take a proper cutting from a plant. A mom takes mental notes for home. My intent is to create a community of learners, even if they only stay at my table for five minutes. </span></div>

In the days of Victorian Britain, the Penny Dreadful was popular among children and adolescents. The flimsy paper books only cost a penny, and were full of scary and sensational stories. Children of the day would form groups to buy and share a Penny Dreadful. </div>

In this workshop, Jason Poyfair will teach children the fundamentals of writing their very own scary stories. They will learn the basics of plot and character development. They will learn how to weave a tale of terror suitable for their next camp out or slumber party.</div>

silk and cotton in a range of natural dye baths using black beans, hibiscus
flowers, and avocado pits. Unlike synthetic dyes, natural dyes are a
living thing. The colors produced are very complex and harmonize together. Each
color holds hints of other colors within it, producing vibrations in the
natural dye color that synthetic dyes could never have. Experience the
spontaneity and beauty of the unique colors produced with natural dyes with
artist Sarah Westrup. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Drop-In Make & Take, all ages.</span></b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #262626; font-family: "Helvetica Neue Light"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 217;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This beginner friendly class invites exploration and
experimentation, two things that make for exciting photography! During this
workshop you'll learn some of the basics in historical photographic processes
including contact printing vs. enlargements, various materials that can be used
as a substrate, such as paper or cloth, and the specifics of anthotype
printing, which uses natural dyes found in plant materials to create
photographs. Because this is an organic process, every print is unique; the
same plant may produce images that vary in contrast, texture, value, and
intensity. This fluidity makes for an ethereal process that pushes
photographers to rely on instinct and a free spirit.</span><br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.0pt;">This mysterious process was discovered early in the history of
photography, but artists and scientists at the time could not find suitable
chemistry that would make the image permanent, an incessant challenge that
plagued much of early photography. In this workshop we will explore color-fast
methods used for hundreds of years in textile dying that are uniquely suited to
this photographic process.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

Through form and color, the work in this show draws inspiration from the artists’s connection to nature. Growing up in various natural environments, attraction to the fiber medium came as second nature. Living in an environment filled with the artificial, they aspire to return to a natural way of being through art making. These thoughts are expressed though processes including netting, weaving, watercolor, felt, and cellulose fabric.<br /><br />Oil and Cotton Creative Exchange<br />837 W. 7th St.<br />Dallas, TX</span></span><br />

Oil and Cotton spent Spring Break making beautiful natural dyed eggs with Natural Dye expert Sarah Westrup. Students learned about the Mexican American tradition of confetti filled cascarones. Empty egg shells were dipped in plant based dye solutions made from hibiscus flower, red cabbage, and red onion skins.</div>

<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">LINEAR MOVEMENT: NEW WORKS BY LILLIAN PAIGE WALTON <br /> OPENING RECEPTION, MARCH 23 6-8:00PM <br /> <br />
Oil and Cotton is pleased to announce the exhibition of the recent work
of Lillian Paige Walton. The opening reception will be hosted at Oil
and Cotton on Saturday, March 23 from 6:008:00PM. The event is free to
the public, with food and beverages provided.<br /> <br /><span class="text_exposed_show">
The show’s title, Linear Movement, echoes the calligraphic, organic,
and obsessive marks that characterize Lillian Paige Walton’s recent body
of work. Linework serves as the foundation for the two and three
dimensional works that Walton has been developing from a series of
drawings<br /> she created in mid 2012. Though she primarily employs
painting and drawing mediums, Walton describes her current method of
working most closely resembling collage technique. Walton takes
disparate elements from a variety of sources (which Walton cites as
ranging from Surrealist painting, household objects, to Devo album art )
and combines them with various methods of mark making. The resulting
abstract compositions are reminiscent of aquatic landscapes, science
fiction Bmovies, and bewitched breakfast foods...all of which,
considering Walton’s diverse canon of influences, likely serve as
inspiration.<br /> <br /> Lillian Paige Walton received a BFA in Studio Art
and a BA in Art History from the University of North Texas in 2012. She
has participated in numerous group and juried exhibitions in the DFW
metroplex. Her work was recently selected for the Rising Eyes of Texas
2013. She currently lives and works in Denton, Texas.<br /> <br /> Opening Reception:<br /> Saturday, March 23, 2013, 6-8:00PM</span></span></span><br />

Monday was our first day of this year's awesome line up of Spring Break Art Camps.
