Sara Petroff
Sara’s artistic practice explores themes of memory, impermanence and identity through the transformation of analogue artifacts into sculptural collage. Drawing on her background in both fine art + curatorial work, each creation is an act of excavation—salvaging personal and cultural narratives embedded in overlooked, discarded objects.
Primarily working with aged papers, art echos the structure of clothing—not as historical costume, but to evoke the intimacy and weight of what we carry, physically and emotionally, vessels of memory, fragile yet layered with story.
Each piece is informed by tactile intuition and a deep sensitivity to the histories of materials. Sara’s process is intentionally slow and accumulative, involving layering, staining, tearing + reconstruction, reflective of the nonlinear nature of memory, and the cyclical tension between disintegration and preservation. Her practice asks what do we leave behind or choose to carry with us?
