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.
