About this Event

Studio U5, Cubberley Community Center

Cubberley artist-in-residence Jasmine Valandani has been making art from found materials for over three decades. She will present a slideshow of work ranging from eyelash drawings to sardine can sculptures, with opportunities for hands-on material exploration following the talk. 

Jasmine Valandani is an artist, wanderer, and gleaner. Meandering, exploring place through sense, picking stuff up off the ground: this has been an occupation since childhood. Foraging for pine pollen, eyelashes, ash, shell fragments, sardine cans, and much much more, becomes a way of befriending the world through material exploration. A practice of receptivity, of openness to the indeterminate and ephemeral, shapes and motivates all of her work. Her research centers on the confluence of inner and outer landscapes, with an eye toward the subtlest margins of experience and matter, where the ordinary meets the sublime.
