Artist Statement - Sarah Kriehn - ("crane")

My abstract, one of a kind, original, prints are emotional responses to passages and experiences in life. Using both biomorphic and geometric abstraction, my images investigate the boundaries of time and space and their relationship to the natural and human world. They depict concepts, feelings, ideas and little markers in time. There is no specific sequence to my pursuit but through the manipulation of materials and physical work, there is a creation of a feeling.

I feel we not only need to see ourselves reflected as people, but also see moments in time and events interpreted.

The appeal of printmaking for me is that it can be spontaneous and highly technical. A combination of techniques can produce endless results. I find it rewarding to create something unique on a blank sheet where nothing existed before. It is always full of surprises.

Thank you for your interest in my artwork. To see more of my work, please view the monotypes , monoprints , collagraphs and installed art pages.
