“Sandia I” is a monotype with chine collé. The works in the “Sandia” series came out of Smelser’s artist residency in New Mexico in 2022 and are inspired by the topography and colors and weather of the dramatic desert landscape. These is a white paper border an all sides of the image. The print is signed in pencil on the front, lower margin.
Utilizing transparent veils of color and thin Asian papers, Sarah Smelser creates prints with an abstract sensibility that are informed by drawing and that reference cartography, the body, cycles in nature, and mundane objects. She has exhibited widely, including solo exhibitions at Bridgewater/Lustberg & Blumenfeld, and Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York. Her work is included in the collections of the Library of Congress, Ballinglen Museum of Contemporary Art, JP Morgan Chase Art Collection, Reader’s Digest Association, The Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp; New York Public Library, and the Zimmerli Museum.
