FOUND:RE Contemporary and FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel are excited to announce the opening of their newest exhibition, “Terra Form”. This exhibition cycle will present the work of Christina Ramirez who uses recycled cardboard, canvas, and paper as non-traditional art materials.
“Terra Form” investigates ideas of sustainability in the studio using materials that would otherwise be discarded. The artworks chosen for this exhibition shine a spotlight on our “disposable culture” and the waste produced in our everyday lives, most notably, the shipping waste created with the increase in online shopping. The exhibition will be hung in the studio space at FOUND:RE Phoenix and opens to the public on April 19. The show is open through July 14, 2024, with the opening reception on April 19 6-9pm.
The exhibition will be presented as part of FOUND:RE Contemporary’s regular schedule of rotating exhibitions organized by curators Jordan Zurn & DeKayshia Sullivan. The works will be for sale in person and at foundrecontemporary.com
Information about Christina Ramirez:
Christina Ramirez is a process painter interested in the experimentation of paint mediums. Her inspiration is taken from Nature and the world around her.

She is the recipient of grants from the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, Arizona Commission on the Arts, ASU, Vermont Studio Center, and Contemporary Forum. In June 2023 she installed her first piece of public art; a large-scale steel sculpture in a pocket park at Alamar in Avondale, AZ.
