"Sliced Red and Black (Mexico)" by Sarah Crowner combines geometric abstraction with textile traditions through acrylic paint applied to sewn canvas sections. The work demonstrates Crowner's characteristic approach of treating canvas as a sculptural material by seaming together separate pieces, creating dimensional folds that interact with the bold red and black color fields. This method bridges painting and craft, transforming the flatness typically associated with canvas into a three dimensional form that shifts depending on the viewer's vantage point.
