BIO
Sara completed a BFA in Painting at Arizona State University and an MFA in Visual Art at The George Washington University where she received the Morris Louis Fellowship. Her work has been included in group shows at The Tucson Museum of Art, Collarworks in Troy, NY, Carnation Contemporary in Portland, OR, and the Ex-Teresa Arte Cultural in Mexico City. In 2022, she had a solo show at Everybody in Tucson, AZ. She attended residencies at the Vermont Studio Center and at The Cooper Union. In 2019, Sara received an R & D Grant from The Arizona Commission on the Arts and was a founding member of the Stew-dio Visit Artist Collective, a recipient of a stART Grant from the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona. Sara’s work will be included in the forthcoming New Glass Review 42 from the Corning Museum of Glass.
STATEMENT
My work is grounded in both formal materiality and relational experiences, looking at concepts of care, intimacy and temporality. The source materials are embedded with meaning, and transform across various processes and situational placements echoing the constant re-arranging of self in relationship to others. Influenced by my experience as mother and daughter, the work often references the doubling or folding of time, identity and value. I look at the relationship between inanimate objects and the human. Working within the framework of assemblage, I look for the traces left by objects, specifically the shapes of discarded toy and product packaging and containers that no longer contain. The glass sculptures combine bodily forms with these vacuum-formed plastic containers. Replicated in plaster mold form they undergo another transformation when glass is blown into the interior of the mold. The glass vessels, both vulnerable and resilient, ultimately require a sense of carefulness.
