I really love the fact that there is a whole story behind the uncommon art medium that Sarah uses. It is awesome to me that she can trace her love of the feeling of tape and sticky things all the way back to her childhood and Chiquita banana stickers.
She uses found boxes to stage the intricate designs that she creates with her hand-rolled tape sculptures, which is not only cost-effective, but it also gives another layer of meaning to her work.
The act of rolling the tape is somewhat of a calming ritual for Sarah. She says that no matter how terrible of a day she may have, she always gets to go home and relax with her tape while she plays a couple records and burns incense. She even compares it to being a vice, like drinking or running; for her it relieves stress and transports her to another world.
I think that Sarah's work is unique and I very much enjoy it. It is without a doubt, on the abstract side, but it has its own intricate beauty that I appreciate.
