Sarah Alexander
"Relentless", contemporary, steel, iron, grassy shapes, sculpture

2018

About the Item

Sculpted out of steel, Sarah Alexander’s Relentless grassy shapes twist and dance as if they were alive, defying the nature of the iron that has been hand hammered and formed appears to be weightless. Sarah Alexander’s usual method is to draw or paint my pieces onto paper or canvas. For the first time, she made one of her drawings out of steel for her series “Drawing with Steel” and created a sculpture. She found that she loved the physicality of bending and twisting the pieces and fitting them together like a puzzle. Alexander likes to approach the same subject using differing materials to see how it transforms the narrative of the subject. A grassy seed ball drawn with pen and ink or painted in watercolor, feels very different when “drawn” with steel. Alexander is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

  • Reawakening the Spirit
    By Sherry Owens
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Sherry Owens Reawakening the Spirit, 2019 Crepe myrtle, steel, milk paint, dye, oil, wax 108 1/2 x 36 x 31 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
