B.F.A., University of Colorado, Boulder -- Sculpture & Post Studio Practice
Originally from New York City and based in Colorado, Valerie
Arcara is an interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work
explores the visual vernacular of human relations to natural and
rural landscape, primarily through the lens of land use and built
environments. Her work is grounded in place specificity and
narrative, utilizing materials found in the field in unison with
landscape photography to create immersive installations. For each
project she draws heavily from her experience doing field-based
research in locations all across the Western United States to
carefully interpret how people are shaped by the land and vice
versa.
JAYJAY in Sacramento
will present a virtual exhibition of works by the first-year
MFAs entitled ”ENDNOTES.” The show, which will begin
May 27, will unfold with a series of instagram posts
that will take place every other day featuring Havilah Aos,
Valerie Arcara, Jesse Aylsworth, Dino
Capaldi, Genevra Daley, Mercy Hawkins, Gretchen
Lemaistre, and Dani Torvik.
