Sarah Obreccht


The objects that Sarah makes out of metal and mix media are to be viewed as botanical specimens in a collection. She focuses in on the detail of her organic forms. Putting detail in her leaves, berries and pods in the way she clusters her tactile creates a line quality in her work allowing the viewer to move throughout the piece with ease. Sarah chooses to place the elements together in layers, clustering them together for a repeating pattern in her work. Through the exploration of the shape of her forms, the patina, and the material that she uses, she is able to have a controlling element in her work with the branches and the stem. The objects’ scale invites the viewer for closer observation of the work. By combining references of controlled forms she is able to catalog her personal nature through her pieces.
