The Barbara Lee Lecture Series is back! We are excited to kick off our 2026 season of artists lectures in Maine with a talk by Teresa Baker. In her work, Teresa encourages her audience to reflect on the land and our relationship to it. She asks us to consider what landscapes we know and how we connect to them both mentally and physically. Using materials as the driving force, Teresa revisits what led her to start working with artificial turf as her canvas, and the importance of place within her practice and ways of thinking about abstraction.
About the artist:
Teresa Baker is a Mandan/Hidatsa artist and was born in 1985. She lives in Los Angeles. Through a mixed media practice combining artificial and natural materials together, Teresa creates abstracted landscapes that explore vast space, and how we move, see and explore within them. The materials, texture, shapes, and color relationships are guided by her Mandan/Hidatsa culture to explore how identity can relate to innate objects.
About The Barbara Lee Lecture Series:
The Barbara Lee Lecture Series is an annual series that features faculty artists during our summer program. During this series, we open our campus to the public, welcoming our friends and neighbors into the conversations that take place at the School. After the summer program, the lectures become part of the Lecture Archive, a growing collection of recordings that can be accessed online or on request.
