Presa House will welcome Corpus Christi sculptor Millicent Alvarado's debut solo exhibition, "Behind Four Eyes, Behind Four Walls." Alvarado will be making her San Antonio debut with all-new work featuring her intricate paper and felt 3D works and an immersive installation.

Alvarado (b. 2000) is a sculptor known for her vibrant work in paper and felt. A self-taught artist, her creative journey began with a childhood fascination with origami, which evolved into her distinctive style of paper sculpting. Now a full-time artist, Alvarado dedicates herself to crafting 3-D sculptural experiences and immersive installations, drawing inspiration from the mundane, and transforming everyday objects into living narratives.

Her work seamlessly blends a vivid imagination with meticulous precision to reflect on personal experiences and worldviews. Influenced by the psychedelic poster art and vintage fashion of the '60s and '70s, her creations feature a kaleidoscope of colors and bold shapes, offering enigmatic windows into her inner thoughts. Despite the often melancholic themes, her introspective yet colorful works create a striking contrast that invites viewers to form their own interpretations.

The exhibition will remain on view by appointment through August 17.
