Sarah Morejohn Bio & Statement
Sarah Morejohn grew up in rural Oregon and currently lives and works in central New Jersey. In 2011 she earned a BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Oregon. Her work is in the permanent collections at Montefiore Medical Center (Bronx, NY) and the Physics Department at the University of Oregon (Eugene, OR). Morejohn’s work has been exhibited at Kenise Barnes Fine Art (Larchmont, NY), Collar Works (Troy, NY), and Schema Projects (Brooklyn, NY). She was awarded an artist-in-residence at Lacawac Sanctuary and Biological Field Station (Lake Ariel, PA). Her work has been published in Superstition Review, and Hyperallergic’s “View from the Easel”.
My work is a continuous conversation about my relationship with nature. For the past three years I have been working on a series of abstract drawings based on the six-fold symmetry of snow crystals. I make these drawings on paper using ink, colored pencils, and graphite. Instead of thinking of the snow crystal as a symbol of nature’s perfection, I make this work imagining the ecology of snow. My work invokes a microscopic mapping of the patterns and textures of ice, twigs, clusters of cells, spores and growth forming and coalescing in relationship with each other.
