The smug Cousin who left Oklahoma for greener pastures: Sooo, what is there to see out here in cow/oil country these days? You (perhaps not amused, but also smug with knowledge): Well, we have some amazing outdoor exhibits and a vibrant downtown scene. Where do you want to go first? Also this is free to check out. Just dont talk about our public transit sitch over Thanksgiving break, because *tears.* But hey, we do have a bike sharing service called Spokies so you can ride around downtown, if you so choose. When visiting Oklahoma I was taken by the vastness of the open landscape and envisioned a line that would travel in a continual motion winding through the patch of land on which the work sits,” said Genger. The artist said the term “red dirt” inspired her color choice, “which relates both to the clay-like nature of the earth, and to the bricks with which we build walls.” Dubbed the “rope wrangler,” Genger hand knits and shapes hundreds of miles of discarded lobster rope into massive sculptures that traverse the space and incorporates the piece into the landscape. Her art encourages visitors to explore the terrain in a new way and interact with the larger-than-life pieces.
