Always And (Art Opening)
Recent work by Artist Sarah Wolfe
On view October 17 - November 14
The repeated ripples of images in a house of mirrors bounce and refract as a body moves through it. Imagery in peripheral vision blurs and quivers, much like memory when we reflect on a time or place. Nostalgia bends and distorts what we hold dear, what we believe to be true. The sculptures in Always And were born of these oil pastel works, and the oil pastels were born of connections to landscape, memory, and the liminal space that is the intersection of the two. They reflect each other while deflecting energy and declining to comment.
A native of southwestern Indiana, Sarah Wolfe has lived and studied in Savannah, GA (Savannah College of Art and Design), Bellingham, Washington, and Bloomington, Indiana. A former restaurant owner (Farmer's Daughter Bakery and Cafe in Princeton, In), she has also taught private art and cooking classes. She has exhibited her artwork in Washington, California, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. She is a member of the 2021 On-Ramp Art Cohort of the Arts Council of Indiana. She is a contributing writer to the local magazine, Life On the Wabash. When she's not covered in paint, dirt or bread dough she is tending to her family, dogs and garden. She serves on her local Historic Review Board and advises the First City Public Sculpture Committee. She volunteers with the Wabash Valley Progressives, local event planners and other social organizations.
