October 14 - November 4, 2022
From Spellerberg Projects:
“The series of solo exhibitions will begin in October with Sara Corley Martinez’s installation of Drawing Restraints, a series of works that combines performance with the obstacles of motherhood, being an artist, and being an aging woman. Through this body of work, she deals with issues specific to a mother’s identity post-baby. Sara’s performance photographs and mixed-media sculptures play with many ideas of restraints and finding relationships with objects beyond mothering, whether that be home fitness equipment, heels, or BDSM rope.
Sara Corley Martinez was born in Frederick, Maryland in 1986. She received her MFA from the University of Cincinnati in 2011. Sara has exhibited around the US with work in Baltimore, New York, Houston, and Cincinnati. After a break to have a child, she was inspired to create work about the physical transformation and absurdly wonderful experience of motherhood. Sara was Director and Curator at the now-closed Mantle Art Space and is currently a Resident Artist at Clamp Light Studios and Gallery in San Antonio Texas.
