Loaded Tides

Sarah Trigg

Info: Gaa is pleased to present Loaded Tides. Trigg’s new works on paper are a departure from her large-scale canvas paintings, with dynamic works that feature loose, gestural brushstrokes. The exhibition focuses on Trigg’s most recent series, in which Trigg continues her exploration of the subconscious reaching consciousness. Trigg is primarily a sculptor and painter, while her practice also extends into investigations of other artists’ studio practices through writing and photography as in her book, STUDIO LIFE: Rituals, Collections, Tools and Observations on the Artistic Practice (Princeton Architectural Press). By way of dynamic and gestural mark-making, Trigg captures snapshots of matter suspended in a fast-moving formation. Undulating lines trace the movements of mutable bodily forms, while fleshy tones crawl across blush and teal backgrounds. Ultramarine works find rest with a drone-like meditation, an exhale.
