Sarah Knight
Crystal Queer

April 1 - May 21, 2022
Opening Reception April 1, 5-8 PM

Crystal Queer is an installation that reimagines the definition of queering as a disorientation of visual and conceptual cohesion. Crystal Queer’s 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 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. 

Bio

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 with a queer, fluxing existence 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.
