The Foundry Art Centre is proud to announce the opening of Sarah Knight’s Crystal Queer.

Opening Friday, April 1, 2022 from 5 - 8 pm running through May 13, 2022.

Sarah Knight (they/them) is an artist living in Saint Louis, Missouri. They grew up in California and graduated with their MFA from Washington University in Saint Louis in 2020. Their work expresses their experiences by creating ambiguous ceramic and stone sculptures that foster a more fluid understanding of identity. Using both made and found objects, Knight explores the assumption of artifice as deception and natural as innate by creating sculptures that embody both.

In their exhibition Crystal Queer, Sarah reimagines the definition of queering as disorientation of visual and conceptual cohesion. The accumulation of fragments, quotes, and definitions aim to create a space of perpetual flux and transmutation in meaning and reinterpretation. Using the ceramic process of “fluxing” as a metaphor and physical object, the artist intends this space to embody the joy in the unidentifiable and the alchemical transformation of matter, language, and identity.

An opening reception for all exhibitions will be held on Friday, April 1st, from 5-8 p.m., as part of the Foundry Art Centre’s First Fridays. Exhibitions will be open through May 13.
