Sarah Hirsch
Artist Statement
I am drawn to movement and light. I love: flowers unfurling; waves crashing; the dappled rhythm of deep woods; towering columns of impossibly far away clouds; the buzzing space between dancers as they balance and spin, grasping hands; a misty pre-dawn; children at play. Moments of the everyday sublime and beautiful.
