"Valdezco’s biomorphic forms – hewn out of scrap cloth and cotton tape in previous lives – are reborn into thick fabric skins; sculptural pieces by needle and impasto. Her monoprints, the organic cosmos on paper by way of thread, reveal the spiral ascent of her textile works. The universe expands and contracts in Valdezco’s body of work, and patterns recur with the desire to alter and refine past discoveries.

Jarque’s bold aluminum geometric structures, in parallel, progress in dimensionality. Painting gives way to form and structure, with the artist’s sculptural pieces elevating acrylic, aluminum, lead, and wood fragments. The richly textured multimedia abstractions retell social realities in bits of paper, soil, enamel, gesso, and metal etched with acid. Beyond canvas or paper, Jarque’s work embodies cultural transmissions of physical and immaterial worlds, and the indestructibility of pure artistic inspiration." ~ excerpt from the artists/Blanc's fb post.
