Collected Signals
Sarah Trigg
Info: Gaa is pleased to present Collected Signals, Sarah Trigg’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Trigg’s new works, on paper are a departure from her large-scale, static canvas paintings, with dynamic works that feature loose, gestural brushstrokes. The exhibition focuses on a grid of framed works on paper taken from 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. (…)
