Artist Sabrina Fadial illuminates our instinctual desire to control our surroundings in order to make sense of the world in which we live. Fadial challenges the notions of function as it relates to femininity. Her work expresses an alternate perspective that challenges traditional concepts of value, revealing an unexpected sense of purpose that is often overlooked. Fadial asks us to consider the minute facets of our lives that may be taken for granted, and reflect upon an essence of existence that is often overshadowed by the systems in which we function, and societal expectations through which we define our ideas of success.
Fadial is known for making the impermanent permanent and the minute monumental. She creates delicate organic forms that are larger than life. Materials becomes malleable in her hands, yielding graceful passages that unfurl in space. Without serving its typical purpose, nor providing an essential function, the value of her materials dramatically shift. As a work of art it is allowed to appeal to the senses, evoke emotion, and become a tool of inquiry. Fadial’s sculptures take on a purpose beyond beauty that is startling to see on such a large scale. Their fluidity suggests a moment caught in time, a motion graceful suspension.
Sabrina earned her BFA in Textiles from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Art. In addition to her active studio practice, Fadial teaches in the Architecture + Art Department at Norwich University. More information can be found at www.Sabrina fadial.com
