Matt Spahr, a sculptor from California (among other places), and
Valerie Molnar, a painter from Cleveland, investigate the transfer of
energy and the dynamic exchange within nature with color, form, and
complex time based installation. The collaboration began in 2012 as
their work collided through their friendship and mutual love for
plants. They both teach at Virginia Commonwealth University. Matt
earned his BFA from California State and Valerie from The Cleveland
Institute Of Art, they both made their move to Richmond for their
MFA's at VCU. The duo received a VMFA Professional fellowship this
year, they attended Mountain Lake's Art Lab Residency last summer,
and have recently returned from this year’s residency at Wave Pool
Gallery in Cincinnati Ohio.
