Sarah Small’s Dissociated Characters

Unlikely Interactions

There’s something super special about Sarah Small.

Of the portfolio reviews I’ve attended, Sarah’s work, which I first saw 2 or 3 years ago, has been the most enduring. The strangest of juxtapositions reigned throughout her book, highlighting brilliant bruises and silvery stretch marks. Since then she has developed the Delirium Constructions which include her Tableau Vivant events – multifarious models assembled into a series of suspended interactions. Startling, sincere images that speak to the viewer again and again.

Recommended watching: the <a href=”http://www.livingpictureprojects.com/partI.php”>Tableau Vivant videos</a> are beautifully moving, and set to the incredible tones of Sarah’s a Cappella quartet Black Sea Hotel (seemingly, skill is in no short supply chez Small).
