Fin Folk

life forms under the waves by

July, 2017 (oh-KAH-see-oh KAH-sah) sculpted + digital art imagined and actualized by creative duo, jeff & dale ocasio

Jeff and Dale Ocasio work collaboratively to create sculpted and digital art expressing an imaginative, storybook spirit. Sculpting with paper masking tape over wire and reclaimed objects is where their artwork begins. Each sculpture is encased with layers of acid free glue, color is added with more layers of acrylics, and protected with varnish. Many of their sculptures are documented through their own illustrative, collaged photography. Shinning a light on the enchantment that they imagine resides in ordinary things, and exposing hidden worlds, is where their art is the most comfortable and at home.

“Fin Folk” is their newest collection, and presents a daydream-like portrayal of life forms beneath the waves. Hoping to draw attention to the inconspicuous watery world of weightless, acrobatic beings living under a glimmering surface, the artists’ intentions are to remind us all to heed and take to heart the well-being of our waterways.

They imagine the many fins swiftly gliding back and forth are waving “hello” to all who stand at the shore. This show is Jeff and Dale’s wave back to them, to say “We see you.

How do you do?”

“Fin Folk” includes free-standing sculptures, 3-dimensional wall hangings, and digital art
