In “On the Air” by Lewis deSoto, one can literally traverse the earth, walking “on the air” and tracing a path from location to location. Different aspects of the artwork represent different aspects of traveling. #LewisdeSoto #PublicArt #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth Visitors encounter patterns of isobars, which are pictures of areas of high and low pressure that occur in the atmosphere. They are made of specially mixed colors of terrazzo that were poured onsite. #LewisdeSoto #PublicArt #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

In 1933, Marguerite Wildenhain and her husband Frans moved from Germany to the Netherlands and opened a pottery. When Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940, she immigrated to the U.S. and taught at the @CACollegeofArts in Oakland. #CaliforniaModernistWomen #MargueriteWildenhain Two years later in 1942, she was the first resident at Pond Farm, an art colony and refuge for European artists near Guerneville in the Russian River Valley of Northern California. #CaliforniaModernistWomen #MargueriteWildenhain
