The Visual Arts Team is excited to present Generative Art, an exhibition by Cruz Godar. Find the Visual Arts Team on Instagram @uovisualarts or Facebook @visualartsteam, where you can see exhibition updates and video artist talks for each show!

Artist Statement:
My name is Cruz Godar, I’m a graduate student in the math department here at UO, and I spend some of my free time writing and polishing high-performance web applets for creating fractals and related objects. Math is often portrayed as obscure and detached — often for good reason — and images like these help give it a better face. Despite originating from disparate areas, these fractals all share an intrinsic beauty that anyone can appreciate, mathematician or not.
These images, as well as others, can be viewed as interactive applets at cruzgodar.com.

"Cruella," which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. One day, Estella's flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar winner Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable, and revenge-bent Cruella.

Tracie Jackson is an UO alum and Indigenous designer focused on the intersectionality between culture, sport, and design. Tracie is focused on creating authentic representation for BIPOC in the sportswear industry.
Tracie Jackson is a Diné Indigenous artist and designer. Growing up on and off the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona she was raised by an artisan family full of weavers and silversmiths making her a fourth generation Diné artist.

In 2018 she achieved her dream job of working for Nike N7. Starting out as a graphic designer for footwear and apparel she is now a Footwear Designer leading the N7 design team at Nike World Headquarters. In 2019 Tracie led the creative direction for the N7's Holiday Collection collaboration with Pendleton Woolen Mills.

That same Fall Tracie and a few other Native women on the campaign were invited to lead a panel discussion at the Teen Vogue Summit explaining the meaning of being a 'Modern Matriarch'.
Outside of her Nike work Tracie creates handmade jewelry and art collections influenced by her perspective of Native arts meeting sport culture. In 2020 for the MTV VMAs Taboo from the music group Black Eyed Peas reached out to Tracie for custom made beadwork for his appearance and performance. Tracie created a beaded medallion Necklace made out of sterling silver, turquoise, and design motifs personal to Taboo and his Indigenous culture.
In 2021 she started her art shop called Rezilient Soles focused on the intersectionality between sportwear and Indigenous culture. The artwork ranging from overt Indigenous designs to Indigenous craftsmanship done with a sports twist. Representation matters and she's using art and design to create space for Indigenous peoples in sport.
