Sarah Mizer is an artist who works in glass and on paper. In her work, she explores themes of time and fragility. Light itself is one of the materials Sarah works with, both in glass and on paper. And her beautiful gallery, Alma’s, uses the abundant light pouring in through the enormous storefront windows to great effect, showing off the beautiful things inside to their full advantage. The gallery combines handmade everyday objects and adornments with fine craft. A visit with Sarah at Alma’s is such a pleasure. Sarah is a fantastically generous tour guide for artists and works on display. She engages the visitor on a deeper level with the work every time, and here she takes us on a tour of her latest exhibition, In Season. This show celebrates food. Each of the artists uses food imagery as a tool for communicating more deeply with the viewer. It is a funny, gorgeous, exquisitely crafted and profound show.

Born in Lima, Peru, Maria Chavez is an an abstract turntablist, sound artist, and DJ. Accidents, coincidence, and failures are themes that unite her sound sculptures, installations, and other works with her solo turntable performance practice. She visited Richmond for a ten-day artist residency at the University of Richmond and to kick off Sound Arts Richmond, a citywide sound arts festival that continues through August of this year. I spoke with Maria as she was installing Topography of Sound: Peaks and Valleys Series, a solo exhibition of new paintings and illustrations based on microscopic images of vinyl and needle. Chavez chose to show this work as two-dimensional rather than as a sound installation because, in the sound arts world and in the art markets, the expectation is that sound art can only be emitted sound from a speaker or from a person. And, as you will hear, Chavez is not a person who likes to be boxed in by external expectations.
