Sara Goldenberg White: When Life Strikes

In a compelling and beautiful three-part installation entitled, “When Life Strikes”, fiber artist Sara Goldenberg White explores the conditions and circumstances that exist in the first moments of new life. Sara pulls deeply from her own experience of losing her first child shortly after birth, and the subsequent attempts to recreate the flash of life in order to have another child. The result is a powerful display of microscopic events brought to a much larger scale. Using vivid color and thoughtful detail White conveys her story through stitched and digital imagery, with heartbreaking honesty and courage.

Sarah Rockett: Collection of “Others”

In her exhibition, Collection of “Others”, Sarah Rockett examines the seldom mentioned current human climate in American society:  Our commonplace neglected systems of interaction, integral anonymity in the collective of society, and the distrustful necessity of one another.   Using wire, latex and ink, Rockett creates works composed of many parts to address social behaviors and expectations.  Her interest lies in articulating social constructs by reinventing approaches to familiar materials.  Rockett’s process is continuously experimental, and originates from the field of expanded drawing.  Working with a wide variety of processes and media, she brings the formal elements of drawing into innovative spaces and forms.  Nameless organic specimens, drawings on latex skins, and wire silhouettes facilitate an intimidating sense of “others” in relation to the self.

Rockett received her BFA with high honors from the University of New Mexico, and her MFA in Drawing from Colorado State University.  Her work is exhibited nationally; most recently at Northwest Missouri State University and soon to be at Wabash College in Indiana.  Rockett has taught drawing courses at Colorado State University, The University of Wyoming, and currently teaches at Metropolitan State College of Denver and Front Range Community College.
