text: Jeff and Dale Ocasio are a husband and wife team who create their artwork collaboratively. 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 photography and animations. Bringing attention to the enchantment, that they imagine, resides in ordinary things, creatures, nature — shinning a light on hidden worlds, is where their art is the most comfortable and at home. “Happy” is the word they hear most often to describe their art.
