Waves

Athena Tacha’s work in diverse media reflects her interest in kinesthetic movement and the geometric abstraction associated with Minimalist art. Waves represents the artist’s conception of the oscillating motion of a wave as energy is transferred through space or mass. Tacha grew up surrounded by the cascading hillsides of Greece, and her memory of that landscape has a profound stylistic effect on her art.

Tacha has strong connections with the Oberlin community. She earned her master’s degree in art history from Oberlin College, where she also taught sculpture, and worked as curator of modern art at the Allen for a number of years.
