Sarah Irvin
Sarah Irvin "There we Go" - Abstract ink on Yupo paper

2020

About the Item

Sarah Irvin There we Go, 2020 ink on Yupo paper 26 x 40 in. (irv082) Sarah Irvin's work is concerned with explorations of autobiography, family history, genetic heritage, and memory. In this series of works, she writes cursive text on a smooth surface with ink and then uses a squeegee to destroy the word or phrase. The resulting marks are the remnant of a written word, but the meaning has been confused and hidden. She is exploring a visual representation of thought while contemplating the limits of words as signifiers. The hidden text represents memory, the abilities and limitations of the mind and the simultaneous power and shortcomings of language.
