sarah bricke
1632 / PST

is a transdisciplinary artist, writer, and researcher working along the intersections of gender, sexuality, critical theory, and notions of the archive. her process and projects are distilled from the ways in which seemingly disparate landscapes, bodies, and processes are both distinct and inextricably linked, and how these paradoxical relationships are represented, perceived, and preserved through institutional and archival practices.

working through photographic processes, performative lecture, nonlinear narrative, and poetry, she engages in the production of objects and images as a mechanism to facilitate
dialogues around them. she is involved with making as a continual process in which things don’t become fully defined and can’t be considered completely understood or fully realized. bricke’s  work frequently utilizes fragmentary pieces or remains that can be taken apart and reconstructed, transferred into different forms, or become part of new cycles. 

ongoing artistic and research interests concern art that arises in the ruins of the built environment, artistic practitioners who create long-term and/or large-scale work without receiving recognition or institutional support, and those who make work in the face of oppression, disempowerment, or victimization. 

it will be difficult to distinguish the presentation of the work from the work itself.

the work deliberately engages the dissolution of such boundaries.

how is the documentation of the work encountered by the observer?

the work is the presentation of the work - its/it’s representation and replication via this platform.


04 ONAN



how many miles?

how many miles to Babylon?
three score and ten.
can we get there by candle-light?
yes, there and back again.
if your heels are nimble
and your toes are light,
you may get there by candle-light.

King and Queen of Onan, how many miles to Babylon?

eight and eight, and other eight.
will you get there by candle-light?
If your horse be good
and your spurs be bright.
