Planetary Alaska, Art by Erica Shirk

In this exhibit Shirk has created a series of images that explore Alaska’s mountains and glaciers, both as geological features and as a millennia-long geological process.
Erica Shirk’s current work reflects her interest in both the concept of time and its passage.
The Opening Reception takes place at the Valdez Museum from 5 – 7 pm on
Friday, January 11, 2019. Free to the public and refreshments will be served.
