About the Item
Sarah Knouse is a sculptor, designer, and arts educator. She holds an MFA from City University of New York Hunter College. Sarah has exhibited her sculptures on an international scale, including The Royal College of Fine Art in London, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, Vox Populi Gallery in Philadelphia, and Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Her studio is located in South Florida.
Through her art making practice, Sarah Knouse combines notions of quotidian household surroundings with those of the ephemeral and surreal. Her most recent body of mixed media sculpture expresses the exquisite messiness inherent in the process of personal growth. Inspired by the profound transformation of motherhood, this sculptural series reflects the contrasting sensations of erasure and accretion experienced by the recontextualization of one’s body and selfhood. Sifting through the residue of memory and stitching together artifacts of domesticity, Knouse looks toward both the past and the future to ask, “Who am I now?” “Aesthetically, these sculptures were inspired by objects found in nature which bear the visible markings of ongoing transformation, such as the steady drip of stalagmite cave formations and the Banyan tree’s complex root system. The Banyan reveals the story of one living organism being overtaken by another in a manner that walks the line between symbiotic and parasitic. The tangle of intertwined materials left behind by this process is a testament to the beauty and chaos of constant change.

Cindy Avroch is a multi-talented artist who began her career by following in her mother’s footsteps. Cindy’s first love was always drawing, painting and sculpting, although Cindy is also a trained dancer. While other little girls could be seen carrying Barbie dolls around, Cindy would be juggling a sketchbook, pencils and an eraser in her hands. Among her earlier accomplishments, she received a degree in textile design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and a scholarship to study at Winchester School of Art in England.
Cindy worked for many years as a studio artist and then an art director in New York City’s fashion industry. Her designs were in major department stores and specialty shops nationwide. Working directly with The Walt Disney Co., Warner Bros., United Media and Nickelodeon, she created licensed print collections for the men’s, women’s and children’s markets. Her unique approach and vision, combined with her philosophy to diversify her modes of expression, enabled her to create and to direct her team to develop fashion collections that tripled sales.
She left the fashion industry to care for her special needs son and found herself a stay- at-home mom for the first time. Soon afterwards, she launched a new venture from home, designing fine art lighting...
