Sarah Canfield  Bio & Statement
Sarah Canfield is a multidisciplinary visual artist working in painting, photography, mixed media and sculpture. She has exhibited widely in galleries, museums and nonprofit spaces, including her recent inclusion in the Personal Landscapes exhibition at the Montclair Art Museum, and the 2020 New Jersey Arts Annual at the Morris Museum as well as a solo exhibition at the Visual Art Center of New Jersey. Additional exhibition venues have included the Pennsylvania State Museum, the Woodmere Art Museum, the Noyes Museum, Fairleigh Dickinson University, Montclair State University and the Google corporate offices in New York City. She has been the recipient of project grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and her work has appeared in the New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer. She graduated with a BFA, cum laude, from Alfred University.

My work investigates the intersections between painting and photography. I begin by photographing a variety of objects including wires and circuit boards that I distort and abstract in camera in a variety of ways. Hard edges soften when they are placed behind curved glass or through embedding them in ice. The crystallized forms and swirling lines that emerge make the static circuit boards disintegrate. I alter the images further by distressing and painting into the photographic prints. An organic, painterly quality is created amid the mechanics of metal and wire. This source imagery becomes the starting point for pastels, oil paintings and mixed media works.
My art has become progressively more abstract, while concurrently retaining elements of its roots in photorealistic painting. The combination of manmade and organic forms contained in each piece echoes the intrusion of technology into the natural world. As the imagery disintegrates, or melts away, I want it to mirror the short life of the latest electronics, to underscore the conflict between human and machine while simultaneously blurring the lines between photorealism and abstraction.
