We Are Made of Star Stuff
This summer, we will feature Ithaca-based artist Yen Ospina in the Art Lab. Yen will create brand new large-scale drawings to brighten up our walls and imaginations! To complement The Rockwell Museum’s 2023 theme, Heroes, these artworks will encourage kids and adults to think about how we are the heroes of caring for our planet, each other and ourselves. Did you know that the elements in our bodies, from the calcium in our bones to the carbon in our DNA, were created in space long, long ago? Yen’s artworks will demonstrate our connections to our great big universe and ask us to think about our place in it.
About the Artist
Yen Ospina is a self-taught multi-talented Colombian-American artist who creates in multiple mediums and scales – from digital prints to community murals. Her work centers on themes of power, mysticism, and visibility. She utilizes a core color palette that makes her diverse body of work instantly recognizable as done in her hand.
Ospina honed her signature style over the course of 2020 during a period of deep introspection. Yen creates her art to inspire inquiry and expand the viewer’s subconscious assumptions of what feminine, queer, and diverse power looks like.
Wagner Vineyards and Wagner Valley Brewing Co. prioritize the safety and well-being of their visitors and staff above all else. In line with their mission of fostering an inclusive and immersive tasting experience, they have implemented a Code of Conduct to ensure their facilities and affiliated events are safe spaces for all identities.
