Serenades the Night is an exhibition of relief carving, photo-intaglio and drypoint etching pieces by Sage Alucero Juarez. Inspired by the moon, queer identity, and nature each of the pieces reflect internal states of being and interrelation. The moon is a vessel for unbounded creativity. Night is a space wherein the poetry cultivated by lovers is echoed through plants, trees, and fungi. The energy of stars are visualized and expressed through lifetimes lived in communion with the Earth. Connections manifest through mycelial networks, by the constellations above and by the intangible serenading of energy between queer kin.
Sage Alucero is a recent graduate of UCSC with a major in Art and minor in the History of Art and Visual Culture. They are an interdisciplinary artist whose mediums span from printmaking, painting, poetry, performance, the creation of adornments, and more.
