SARAH KILBOURNE GRISWOLD

I look below the surface of things, though I am entraced by what’s visible and tactile. My subjects tend to be cells, roots, mycelia, deep ancestral histories and mythologies. I scavange the detritus of the world everywhere I see it: complicated histories, family stories, streets, in the woods, on rocks and the beach; art of every time and every place. I shamelessly, or perhaps shamefully, appropriate what I see and use it. Recombining and reusing, delving into questions of identity and purpose, I see a moral dimension to making art and strive to communicate what I know.
