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.
