In coordination with the announcement of our artist roster, Mrs. will release weekly, online viewing rooms individual to each artist, showcasing new and available works. This week we feature Sarah Bedford.

Sarah Bedford’s works incorporate abstraction of floral still-life compositions with collage elements such as layering with snakeskin and glitter fabric.  Referencing Arthur Dove, Gee’s Bend and Marsden Hartley, Bedford’s alchemical and diagrammatic works continue the lineage of still life painting.  Taking form through the lens of a feminist conversation, her works summon a new narrative behind this traditional art form.  Bedford’s works evolve spontaneously – whether sprayed, collaged, painted, or drawn – conveying a freedom of exploration in the materiality of her works, as well as an ever-shifting relationship to line and form.
