Reposted from @hamiltonian_artists “This first piece was from 2012 and shown in Fellows Converge: The Obstructions group exhibition, where each artist had to work with three obstructions to challenge artistic practices. This show and exercise completely changed the way I work (I did self-portraits for years). I am grateful to Hamiltonian's Art Fellowship for pushing my practice.” @sknobel

Sarah Knobel’s “Synthetic Nature” is a series of collages and photographs investigating new landscapes where the artificial and natural collide. There is a focus in regards to the longevity of these objects once their purpose has expired. #HamiltonianArtists

"Synthetic Nature is a series of collages and photographs that investigates new landscapes where the artificial and natural collide. I am specifically interested in containers, materials such as plastic and foam are the resources I chose to emphasize in this series. There is a focus in regards to the longevity of the these objects once their purpose has expired. What would a landscape created by these materials look like? How does do these substances potentially adapt? Fleeting use and disposal of these resources is at the forefront of many current discussions, for me I chose to focus on the relics of my family’s consumption and its seemingly in escapable effects.

Preoccupation with consumption drives me to explore these mundane remains that seem unremarkable upon first glance. I question their metaphysical makeup, what they symbolize as well as their existence beyond meager utilization. But I also take a closer look at the beauty in their distinctive form once their intended purpose of protection is completed. I create new compositions with these forms in mind and how they could relate to our natural environments. I question how the imperishable relics will engage with our natural resources. Will this entangled relationship of natural and synthetic create some sort of new ecosystem? This new ecosystem is at the core of my work that I’m curiously experimenting with and continuing to question."

"Synthetic Nature" by Sarah Knobel is on view in our East Gallery through September 24, 2021. More information at https://www.luxcenter.org/exhibitions/synthetic-nature.
