Kristen Sanders

Please join us for a Walkthrough with artist Kristen Sanders on Saturday, April 23rd at 2pm. This will be a unique opportunity to dive into the artist’s work in her current solo exhibition, Infinite Beach, and learn about where her beguiling images come from. Emerging from seemingly incongruous sources – the fossilized shells of long ago extinct bivalves, still lives constructed from latex gloves and prehistoric rocks, a snapshot of a painting by Sanders’ late uncle, who died in a Ukrainian studio fire when she was a child – the works in Infinite Beach are bound together by a common line of inquiry: what remnants survive at the periphery of existence?
