July 2 - 30 * open during events and by appointment: email info@rhizomedc.org
My name is Sarah Marie Hughes. I am a performing artist, and art maker living in Washington, DC.
The enjoyment I find in my visual art is in the act of creating depth on a flat surface. I see the blank page as a playground for my subconscious mind. The work evolves and devolves its structure, attempting to define and categorize the matter of existence while being willing to negate its own logic entirely.
Chaos is embedded in my process because it is an act without specific intention, but out of the chaos emerges Eyes’ order. Intention is born and becomes stronger as the piece charges towards its little death.
Each piece is an entity conceived in ignorance, grown in a mixture of instinct and curiosity, matured in personal taste, and retired in contentment. Perhaps this is all my life is trying to do and be. I hope you enjoy examining these, my exercises in existing.
