Sarah Fisher: When I Walk I See Things

From landSPACE:

“Sarah Fisher (American, b. 1964) has cultivated a daily practice that merges walking with art making. Her creative process braids her experience with anxiety into her compulsive need to create, connect and converse. Influenced by Georgia O’Keeffe, who sought solace and inspiration in her daily walks, Fisher couples her need to get up and move with her desire to lose and find herself in her immediate surroundings. Picking up ideas, images and materials as she goes, Fisher incorporates the world as it offers itself to her into her multidisciplinary work. In When I Walk I See Things, she shares self portraits created in a variety of media, including painting, printmaking, and installation works — on exhibit both indoors and outdoors at landSPACE.

A 1986 graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Fisher lives and works in Houston, TX. Solo exhibitions include Museum of East Texas, Lufkin, TX (2022); Michelson Museum of Art, Marshall, TX (2022); Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts (LHUCA), Lubbock, TX (2021); Front Gallery, Houston, TX (2019); and Art Palace Gallery, Houston, TX (2017). Her joint exhibition with poet Robin Davidson was presented at O’Kane Gallery at University of Houston Downtown, Houston, TX (2022). Her joint exhibition with Rachel Anderson was presented at Stephen F. Austin State University’s Cole Art Center, Nacogdoches, TX (2021). Group exhibitions include Artspace III Regional Juried Exhibition, Fort Worth, TX; 44 Artists From Texas, LHUCA, Lubbock, TX; The Texas National, SFASU Cole Art Center, Nacogdoches, TX; and Lawndale Art Center’s The Big Show, Houston, TX. She completed the MFAH Glassell School of Art BLOCK Advanced Studio program in 2018 and is a member of the G5 Collective in Houston, TX.
