Sarah Haze, "Becoming: Green Gold"

$0.00
NFS

Artist Statement

For the past 4 years, my creative output has been centered around my business Round Designs. There I create whimsically illustrated ceramic pieces that bring me joy. One of the pieces I became known for were small ceramic bowls that looked like fried eggs. They now live with hundreds of people and the fact that such a simple thing could bring delight to so many really endeared me to the egg as a form. As the pandemic slowed the pace of my business, it created space for new ideas and creative impulses to emerge, one of those being a return to the acrylic paints I’ve left untouched in a bin for 15 years. Feeling compelled to paint, I used the egg as a springboard. I see them as symbols for fertility, gestation, future possibilities, and wombs. Having spent the past years trying to have a child, these paintings have evolved into snapshots of, and a way to process, feelings I have surrounding parenthood, pregnancy, loss, soul, and sovereignty.

Artist Bio

Sarah Haze (she/they) is a visual artist living and working in Chatham, NY with their husband and two superb cats. Since 2016, Sarah’s focus has been on creating bright, whimsical, illustrated and ceramic works for their creative business Round Designs. The slowdown of the pandemic created space in her creative practice to tap into different media and one of the results is an ongoing body of painted works. Sarah received a B.F.A. in fine art and philosophy with a concentration in sculpture from SUNY Potsdam in 2005 as well as a B.S. in biology from UAlbany in 2013. She has exhibited photographic and ceramic works locally at the Albany Center Gallery, the University Art Museum at SUNY Albany, The Arts Center of the Capital Region, Albany Institute of History and Art, and The Hyde Collection. Sarah has held residencies at Women’s Studio Workshop, The Arts Center of the Capital Region, and the Contemporary Arts Center at Woodside.
