Odyssey of Forever Things: Sarah Elise Hall
June 10 - August 12, 2023
 Until recently, her work has largely consisted of wall-mounted relief sculpture in the format of sequences and grids. These works combined shapes of Minimalism with gestures of Abstract Expressionism.
As Artspace’s 2022 Artist in Residence, Hall began experimenting with vertical, floor-based work, creating a series of large-scale drawings and maquettes that led to full-scale sculpture, the goal of which was exploration of the visual impact of a vertical format while considering the conceptual and aesthetic potential of repetition in her work.
Opening Reception: Sat, June 10, 2pm
