Sarah Meyohas — Blue Speculation

Blue Speculation

2014

Blue Speculation presents an architectural corridor of infinitely regressing arches, their cool blue tonality drawing the eye toward a darkened vanishing point at the composition's core. Printed via dye sublimation on aluminum, the image carries a luminous, almost metallic surface quality that amplifies the sense of depth and digital precision. Part of the 2014 series Speculations, the work operates as a meditation on recursion and desire, the repeating threshold promising revelation while withholding arrival. Meyohas built her practice at the intersection of financial systems and image-making, a territory she mapped memorably through Bitchcoin, a cryptocurrency performance that attracted significant attention from the New York Times and The Atlantic. That preoccupation with speculation, value, and the instability of systems permeates Blue Speculation, where the architectural loop functions as a visual analogue for markets in perpetual, anxious motion. The work belongs to an early moment in the artist's career when those conceptual concerns were being translated into a rigorous photographic language. Meyohas has since been exhibited at 303 Gallery, the Aperture Foundation, and Danziger Gallery, all in New York, cementing her position as one of the more intellectually urgent voices working across photography and new media. This work is offered through the Watermill Center Benefit Auction, providing collectors a point of entry into a body of work that has only grown in critical relevance. The piece is signed and presented unframed, inviting the collector to consider a presentation that honors the reflective qualities of its aluminum substrate.
