This past week, artist Julia S. Rasor completed the installation of her sculptural work at the Fallbrook Art Center in preparation for the upcoming Sustainable Creations Exhibition, which opens Saturday, May 2, and runs through June 13.
The exhibition, curated by Renée Richetts, San Diego County Arts and Culture Commissioner, brings together a diverse group of artists working with reclaimed, recycled, and repurposed materials—highlighting contemporary practices that merge environmental awareness with sculptural innovation.
Rasor’s installation continues her long-standing exploration of repurposed materials. Known for her process-driven approach, she constructs sculptural forms that balance precision and spontaneity, using a collection of upcycled materials.
As an observer, I have a great interest in everyday, overlooked materials.
There is an unexpected strength that forms as each form takes shape, often outgrowing my studio space.
Julia S. Rasor’s work engages directly with themes central to the show: sustainability, material responsibility, and the shifting relationship between the object and the viewer. The installation process itself emphasizes adaptability—responding to space, light, and architectural rhythm while maintaining the integrity of each sculptural gesture.
Presented alongside a range of artists committed to ecological awareness in contemporary art-making, Rasor’s contribution reinforces the exhibition’s broader message: that transformation is both an artistic and environmental act.
Sustainable Creations opens to the public on May 2 with a reception from 4–6 pm at the Fallbrook Art Center.
Simultaneously, Rasor exhibits two Orange Couture Metal sculptures at the Green Go Fashion Show, on May 9th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Janice Griffiths Gallery, Fallbrook Art Center, during Mother’s Day weekend.
