ABOUT.
Sarah Fitzgerald’s interdisciplinary art practice responds to the conditions of a specific site and the ways in which we create a sense of place. Her MFA at the National art school looked at contemporary site-specific art and the connections to architecture. Sarah is interested in the ways in which we inhabit and construct a particular site, as a means to identify broader issues of place and identity in contemporary society. She looks at urban planning, architecture and structural elements in building, as well as the language used to describe building, as metaphors for social structures. She also looks at the organization of physical space as hegemonic social constructions and uses her work as a means to critique and reflect on contemporary issues of place. Through her art practice Sarah continually attempts to see and to describe the way we construct and live in the contemporary world.
