Sarah Knouse (Artist Statement)
Through my art making practice I explore themes of ornamentation and superficial grandeur as they occur at a domestic scale. I often combine notions of quotidian household surroundings with those of the ephemeral and surreal. My fascination in our culture’s relationship with decoration and surface treatment plays a large role in my work. Furthered by my experiences as a faux-finish painter and interior designer in the suburbs of Philadelphia, I am intrigued by the interactions that we as individuals cultivate with our private spaces and possessions. Aside from adding aesthetic appeal, the objects and processes we utilize to embellish our personal spaces allow us to in some ways author our own identities and histories, project distinct ideals, and even express our economic or social aspirations. I am curious about the place where these constructed ideals and fantasies make contact with real life.
