| Anna O’Cain is a studio art instructor
in drawing, design and sculpture. She studied visual art at the University
of Okalahoma, received a BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago and
an MFA from the University of California, San Diego where she continued
to work with hybrid media, experimental processes, and installation.
She has been a recipient of grants from California Arts Council and
Art Matters in New York. Performance actions taken from daily life,
i.e. mending clothes, making pies, sewing felt covers for books in
a library, and cataloging stories are elements in her installations
work. Found objects used in her work often provide historical sources
from which to begin the art making process. Sound, interactivity and
electronic technologies are combined with more tradiional media in
her work. Questions about learning, memory and record keeping (how
we know, how we learn, what we remember, and what we forget) are at
the center of her research and practice. With one foot in both physical
and virtual worlds she is still amazed and excited about the hybridization
of traditional and electronic media. |
