The Puerto Rican artist with North Carolina ties (she lives in Spruce Pine) builds her artwork around the idea of environment. Her newest series of installations, comprised as a body of work titled “A Room of One’s Own,” comes to LaCa Projects to take viewers on an artistic journey. Her works are defined through folds, creases, twists and voluptuous overlap that places emphasis on space and architectural structures. Come for the opening reception of the exhibit and enjoy wine and good conversation. Opening reception on May 8, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. (Anita Overcash)
