Sarah Crowner — Flying Painting #2
Sarah Crowner

Flying Painting #2

2013

Sarah Crowner's "Flying Painting #2" combines acrylic and gouache on sewn canvas to create a dynamic composition that blurs the boundaries between painting and sculpture. The work demonstrates Crowner's characteristic approach of constructing canvases from irregular geometric segments that are stitched together, allowing the seams themselves to become integral design elements. By layering bold color fields with visible stitching, the artist creates a tactile surface that challenges traditional notions of the painted canvas as a flat, unified support.
