Carrie Ann Plank, Elemental Lattices Purple Blue Variation 3, ink and acrylic on panel, 47 x 53 in, Jonathan Carver Moore

Carrie Ann Plank is a San Francisco based artist working in installation, printmaking, and painting. Focusing on layers of sophisticated geometry, Plank examines the space of intersecting patterns to describe new structures. The work utilizes mathematical equations to create multiple overlapping impressions that reveal additional distinct pattern formations. The resulting forms are space in between, the intercession, of concrete data. Plank's works are in the permanent collections of the Fine Art Archives of the Library of Congress, Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, the Guanlan Print Art Museum in China and many more.  She has also been honored with residencies at KALA in Berkeley, CA, and Taller Experimental de Gráfica de La Habana in Havana, Cuba. Most recently she was a 2024 SECA award nominee at SFMOMA.

Javiera Estrada, The Color Purple, 2023, archival pigment print, 40 x 65 in, Jonathan Carver Moore

Multi-media artist, Javiera Estrada was born in Acapulco and immigrated to the United States in 1989. Estrada's broad scope of work, which includes photography, mixed media, photograms, film, and textiles is influenced by her memories of growing up in Mexico—a tropical paradise of vibrant colors, steeped in spiritual ritual and magical realism. She examines the theme of interconnected consciousness in a multitude of ways. From incorporating female bodies as sculptural forms in organic communion with nature, to creating galactic primordial environments with inks—fluid and formless, structures representing the “prima materia,” original essence of existence. The juxtaposition of shadow and light play a recurring role in Estrada’s explorations as well, representing the internal struggle between the spiritual and the physical. Estrada has exhibited throughout the United States and has also shown in London, Germany, Switzerland, China and Singapore. In 2020, her solo show in Las Vegas received a Certificate of Special Congressional Commendation for the Arts from the United States Congress. Recently, she was commissioned to create a site-specific piece for the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
