Emerging conceptual artist Teresita Fernandez‘ creates intimate, often experiential, installation pieces that evoke clouds, rainstorms, fire, waterfalls and stars floating in the night sky. In Fernandez’ hands objects like glass cubes become starfields when mounted to walls, and something like a pile of natural, jagged shards of graphite becomes bubbling water on a museum floor. While Fernandez’ name may not be familiar to all of Dallas just yet, the Miami-born, Brooklyn-based sculptor was one of 17 artists worldwide whose work was chosen to be featured in that dazzling architectural marvel known as the new Cowboys Stadium. Located in the lobby of the Owner’s Club, her mesmerizing creation “Starfield” (studded with mirrored glass cubes on anodized aluminum) looks like something created for a the set of a classic Sci-Fi flick or some high-fashion store at the mall like Barney’s or Aritzia. FOCUS: Teresita Fernandez is on display through June 19 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnell St. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays (with extended hours Fridays).
