Sarah Burris
I received my MFA in Sculpture (2008) and MLIS (2013) from Kent State University. As both an artist and a librarian, collage had been the medium that best merges my two identities. In my art practice, I explore the delicate balance between beauty and the grotesque. I also play with the notion of femininity within this larger concept. I have worked in a variety of mediums; including collage, sculptural installation, and performance art. My latest works have been in response to societal changes: 2016 election, our community repairing from getting hit by Hurricane Michael in 2018, and the global pandemic in 2020.
