A collection of work by Canadian born, Brooklyn-based artist Sarah Davidson. Davidson pursued their artwork schooling at Emily Carr College and the College of Guelph. Their curiosity in nature as a topic comes from ten years spent working as a wilderness information for an outside college. Drawing from ‘nature’ via a queer ecological lens, Davidson weaves collectively remark and abstraction, evoking an ambiguous interiority. Most of the work seem caught within the means of transformation, porous and unusual, wavering out and in of notion, or giving the general impression of macro and micro worlds enmeshed:
“Through the previous 4 years, my gender identification has been in flux and my obsession with butterflies and moths (notably the section of their life cycles known as ‘diapause’, after they remodel) displays coming to phrases with my very own trans non-binary identification, transitioning, and the destabilizing expertise of getting to rethink a lot of how I outline and expertise the world. I’ve a variety of questions, as I develop my ongoing challenge: how does biomorphism relate to queerness, transness, and portray? How can parts of physique horror in my work unsettle methods of them? Is there such a factor as queer abstraction, or a queer artwork which eschews human illustration?”
