Rebecca Padilla Pipkin
January 23 - February 2, 2024
Reception: January 26, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery is pleased to present Dwelling With, a solo exhibition by Arizona based artist Rebecca Padilla-Pipkin. The exhibition opens January 23rd, with a special reception on January 26th from 5-7pm.

Rebecca Padilla-Pipkin is an interdisciplinary visual artist and educator living and working in Phoenix, Arizona. Her work explores ecologies of place through a wide variety of site-specific materials and processes that index moments of interaction between the human and more-than-human. Ultimately, she strives to make work that deepens the care and attention we give to the places in which we dwell.

Rebecca Padilla-Pipkin stated, “Being a part of Strata Gallery has been an incredible experience. The connections I have made with other artists through Strata have been so generative for my practice. In my work, I consider and expand on practices of attunement within the landscapes that hold us, particularly the desert. I am honored to be expanding the reach of my work throughout the Southwest and with the Santa Fe community.”

Rebecca Padilla-Pipkin received her BFA from the University of Oklahoma, and her MFA from Arizona State University. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States, and has been generously supported through various grants such as the Phoenix Artist To Work program.
