Sara Wolfe
Sara Wolfe's abstract paintings reference a childlike sense of space. She will be working on murals within her studio space utilizing rejected mixed house paint from the local Home Depot and independent hardware stores, in a process that she believes "ties local residents to the mural."
"As infants learning to draw make figures with twenty arms, they express a new awareness of their limbs rather than a representational observation. My act of painting similarly involves capturing our physical experience of existing in the world, and memories of those heightened moments of awareness.
My interest lies in memory: how we re-create, embellish and merge it with other experiences. I reference a physical experience from a moment ago and a tangential childhood memory in the same image. My work ultimately reveals a sense of play and a longing to re-create that state of innocence."
Sara's previous residencies include Creative Center, New York, NY, Byrdcliffe Artist Colony, Woodstock/ Byrdcliffe Guild, Woodstock, NY and Vermont Studio Centers, Johnson, VT.
