Who we are is where we are. The Southwest is the crossroads for many cultures and histories from the indigenous Navajo, Apache and Hopi tribes who first occupied this land to Spanish colonialism and centuries of settlement. The Scottsdale Art Week Fair is a reflection of today’s more dynamic and contemporary community but is rooted in our unique landscape and history. To this end we have striven to create America’s first art fair with the emphasis on indigenous expression–understood as artwork by any maker possessing a profound or authentic connection to place.
A Fair of Art and Design curated for sophisticated contemporary lifestyles, this event brings together a dynamic combination of Contemporary Art and Design, the work of living Indigenous artists, and historical American art that speaks to the area’s heritage as the western outpost of America’s preeminent architect, Frank Lloyd Wright and the home to the wealth of the west.

The newest version of the exhibit, Octagonal: The All-Media Show, launched in 2018 taking a note from the past while moving forward to continue to provide an exciting opportunity for artists across Iowa, the Midwest, and the nation.

“Due to the extensive ongoing creative messes I make, I am rarely able to open my studio to visitors. I’m excited to share what I have been up to lately since the last time I opened my doors was nearly 4 years ago.”
Whether you are a seasoned art enthusiast and collector or just starting to explore the creative world, the Open House promises to be an enriching experience for all ages.
About Kimberlee Rocca:
For as long as memory serves, my fascination with puzzles, mosaics, and collages has driven my artistic endeavors. This passion has evolved into a dedicated pursuit of assembling pieces into creations that inspire wonder and joy.
My work revolves around spiritual journeys and personal narratives, mirroring the cycles of nature and relationships. Through the transformation of discarded materials, I weave modern collage stories, characterized by unconventional shapes and vibrant hues.
Each creation carries individual and collective significance, akin to the interwoven narratives of our lives. As I blend salvaged construction remnants with foils, paints, and pastels, my abstract pieces reflect the collision of the natural world and human constructs, offering limitless interpretations

Depth: Layers in Translation focuses on the unique approaches artists take in the creation of their work. Layering is an integral function in the ‘making’ process—an essential element in nearly every artwork. This exhibition highlights the distinctive ways in which subject matter emerges from process. Often, artworks are created in stages, each layer building on the last; the final result is inseparable from the steps involved. In some pieces, depth is forced or implied through masterful optical illusions. Whether through material texture in addition or subtraction, overlapping color, or subtle shifts in perspective, these works convey the transformation from process to final form.

I have long been fascinated with nature at large scale, planets, constellations, layers of the earth in geology and good old fashioned rocks. As a teen I spent the summers with my family in a charming cottage by a tiny lake in Sweet Valley Pennsylvania. It was a very quiet lake, which was not ideal for a teen in the 80's ready to do “something.” We had no tv at the lake and the internet was not even in the cradle of imaginations, so nights were slow, and dare I say boring, and the radio played a limited number of musical selections that were not really my forte.
But boredom is the incubator of creative thought and now I can look back with love. Many silent evenings I would bundle my sleeping bag and pillow and head down to the dock by the lake. The crisp mountain air, melodic sounds of cicadas, bullfrogs and water lapping at the dock posts created the perfect venue for stargazing. The remote mountain sky was very dark, perfect to lay out there for hours, scanning the skies for shooting stars and imagining what exciting things I would do in my life. Lost in my own thoughts I would sometimes fall asleep under the heavens with a dew kissed face.
Fast forward to now and I am blessed to live on another quiet lake. The night skies remind me of all the dreams I had as a teen, but none of them can compare to the journey I am taking. I don’t travel much, but through books, photographs, the internet, microscopic discoveries, the Hubble and now the James telescope; my eyes of imagination have been set on fire. I can see the discoveries of incredible formations deep within the tiniest particles expanding limitlessly to the vastness of the outer edges of space. A far cry of the glimpse from my lake cottage and dock side slumbers.
Overwhelmed by my insignificance I wondered how my tiny piece of creativity would matter. Over time and through much transformation, like geological layers forming and being carved away through time, I am slowly unearthing jewels of things that only I can create and only I can share. When putting everything into perspective I fully embrace the notion that I am pulled from the God of creation and uniquely designed to express through my work as only I can.
As every grain of sand or tiny snowflake is unique, so too every planet, star and galaxy possess a one of a kind signature that grows and continually changes. Exponential transformation is the nature of my work. Each piece reflects a point in time, but is designed to be repositioned or reconfigured. The whims of creativity are fickle. Nothing is forever on this earth, but interaction is constant. So interact with my work. Play with the table sculptures, imagine rearranging a wall sculpture or lay on the floor and stare up at the mobiles and marvel at the infinite possibilities of it all.
That’s what I do every day.
