Sarah Kahn, Mixed-Media/Painting/Textiles

Artist Statement

I am drawn to non-representational art, because it endows the viewer with the freedom to associate, and find sensory response. Amidst passages of color, form and texture, one is invited to call upon internal imagery and personal experience.

While I am inspired by representational images, and have used them in my pieces, I find that abstraction often invites a direct connection to our senses, and to our unconscious. Non-representational forms possess great power to direct our attention inward, allowing us to free-associate and recall important experiences we may have hidden away.

I am under representation at Soprafina Gallery, SOWA Art District, Harrison Ave., Boston, MA.
