Schneckloth, Sara

Professor

Sara Schneckloth works in a variety of media as a way to explore the potential of contemporary drawing practice. Drawing on the visual culture of science, Schneckloth creates images that speak to the physical and emotional processes of remembering. The notion of the gesture factors strongly into her work, figuring as both the mark on the page and as an invitation for viewers to intimately interact with her drawings.
