Daniele Frazier's public installation 20 Knots: Daffodils for Boston opens on April 8, 2019 at Seaport Common (85 Northern Avenue Boston, MA 02210). It is within walking distance from the ICA museum and will be up through April 29, 2019. If you have friends in Boston, please spread the word.

20 Knots dovetails with the ongoing work of Marathon Daffodils. Now in its seventh year, Marathon Daffodils, founded by Diane Valle in response to the tragic marathon bombing, mobilizes a network of nonprofits and horticulturists to place 130,000 daffodils along the 26.2 mile marathon route. This work is commissioned by the Boston Seaport and marks their second year partnering with Marathon Daffodils. This collaboration is intended to strengthen the community by bringing beauty to where there was unfathomable loss, mayhem and sadness.

20 Knots consists of twenty 20-foot-tall hollow-volume flowers that inflate and change direction with the wind. 20 knots (about 23 miles per hours) is the ideal wind speed for this work's activation.

I learned to drop all previous assumptions I had about people because I had never met anyone like the other students at Oxbow. For the first time, my peers and their insightful thinking inspired me. For example, during the ‘Einstein’s Dreams’ presentations, I kept looking around the room thinking, I can’t believe all of these students are talking the way I think.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

At Oxbow, I got to try inquiry-based learning for the first time. This allowed me to control the amount of rigor and the depth of research in my topic, as well as picking a topic that I found most interesting. From going through this new process of learning, I feel excited to go back to the rigor of my sending school to apply the inquiry-based perspective to my classes.
