Sara Grose is a sculpturally inclined visual artist whose practice reclaims and reworks the materials and notions of consumable culture. Honing in on repetitive forms and monotonous moments, her work pictures the cycling influence between people and the objects that move them, between objects and the people that move them, between people and the objects that move them.
Through an ominous attitude towards consumerism, she crafts dystopian monuments, haunted readymades and sculptural still lives acting as moment mori. Through these frameworks, her practice articulates human desire and the struggle towards a sense of fulfillment within the myth of capitalist material success; wondering how the objects of consumer culture have come to influence the way one moves through life and makes sense of death.
Sara received a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of Chicago.
