Sarah Slappey’s work explores the complexities of gender, femininity and violence. With a technical practice firmly rooted in drawing, her soft, abstracted compositions of fleshy figures with rounded joints deconstruct the restrictions of perfection. Pain is accentuated in the figure from articulated mutilations such as bindings, chains and needles, yet still retains a pristine sheen from her labor intensive, technical expertise. Charged objects and details are suspected against soft backgrounds that would feel at home in a two page wallpaper sample in a Southern Living magazine.

"I'm often thinking about my input and output in the world, as I think most artists are," says the artist regarding the collaboration. "How will what I do create change in either a positive or negative way? Any environmental cause where I can move the needle in even the slightest direction is a meaningful endeavor."
