About
Why this artist matters now
Sara VanDerBeek photographs sculptural assemblages and three-dimensional still lifes of her own construction, many of which she destroys after documentation. Her practice engages with historical depictions of women in art, particularly in classical and ancient sculpture, using photography as the primary record of ephemeral interventions. The work operates at the intersection of sculpture, photography, and performance, where the photograph becomes the only remaining artifact of a deliberately impermanent gesture.
