FREE EVENT
Drop in any time to see how agave fiber is used as art. Based in Marfa, Texas, Sandra Harper brings agave into the gallery as sculpture, material, and story. Working directly with agave, yucca, and other desert plant forms, her practice is grounded in the physicality of place while reaching into themes of ritual, myth, and transformation. Her work reflects a deep engagement with desert landscapes, where plants function as both ecological anchors and cultural touchstones.
Through weaving, binding, and sculptural form, Harper reveals the structural beauty of agave while honoring its role as a source of sustenance, ceremony, and identity. Each piece carries a sense of time and process, shaped by hand and informed by the rhythms of the desert. This exhibition invites viewers to experience agave beyond its familiar forms, as a vessel of memory and connection, bridging landscape and story, material and meaning.
