Adria Arch "Sirens and Sentinels", Nora Valdez " A Common Thread"

Arch abandons her usual ebullient use of color in favor of the starkness and mystery of white. Airy, latticed structures, slightly precarious in nature, evoke diverse connotations—from wedding cakes, chandeliers, and succulents, to tall quasi-figurative forms.

Valdez presents an installation full of themes reaching from the artist’s childhood home to contemporary global dilemmas, Valdez literally hangs out these issues to air on clotheslines strung across the gallery. Her signature stone carvings are also present.
