Join us for a virtual studio visit via Zoom with mixed-media artist Sarah Blood. A member of She Bends, the pioneering collective of womxn bending their own neon, Blood combines unlikely materials—glass with concrete, light with fabric, neon with cake—to create immersive responses to the poetics of living, beauty, and heartbreak. The artist will take us on a virtual tour of her studio, share recent and in-progress works, and give a live demonstration of the fiery excitement of neon-tube making.
Ticket purchasers will receive an email confirmation. Please follow the link under “Important Information” to complete your registration with Zoom.
About the artist
Born in the United Kingdom, Sarah Blood is an artist, curator, and educator. She has enjoyed an active studio practice since 1999, exhibiting her work internationally alongside contemporary artists such as Bruce Nauman, Agnes Denes, Glenn Ligon, Sarah Lucas, and Tracy Emin.
In her practice, Blood seeks to reveal moments that challenge our perception of vulnerability. Concerned with light and phenomenology, she plays with the tension between materials, space, and the viewer. Light, predominantly neon, seeks a non-luminous counterpoint that brings conceptual, physical, and visual weight to the work, creating immersive experiences that speak to human existence and ideas. Blood is a tenured professor of Sculpture | Dimensional Studies at Alfred University.
