Sarah is a mixed-media artist who works predominantly with collaged materials and found imagery in order to create narrative-based pieces that explore human archetypes, frameworks and traditions of storytelling, and the relationship between word and image. She sees landfills as truly modern mythical landscapes where our waste system exists as a direct expression of what we, as a society, wish to abandon, release or forget. She received her BFA in Printmaking from Washington University in St. Louis and has participated in several group exhibitions and one solo exhibition since 2005. She is proposing to create a series of bas-relief sculptures that investigate contemporary female identity evidenced within our waste stream by gleaning materials that have been obviously manufactured for, tangibly used by, or symbolically representative of women.
