About Me
Sarah Lewison is an artist and writer who works at the intersection of social practice and ecological media. In her work examines how the relationships between humans and other-than-human species are shaped by law, history and materiality in the Anthropocene. Working with live performance, installation, dialogue, and time-based media, she poses alternative modalities and propositions for life undergoing transition.
Webs of connection are illustrations of the the transversal perspectives that we call ecological relation. Through durational projects such as the Center for Subsistence Research, her work joins play, labor, living forms and community formation to attend to materialities of place, justice and processes of relationship.
