bio

Peyton Sarah Peyton is an artist working mostly between sculpture and performance. She received her BFA from the University of Georgia with an emphasis in sculpture and has worked as an artist in residence in Iceland and Vermont Studio Center. In the fall of 2018, she will begin her MFA at Yale School of Art in Sculpture.

Sarah creates articles of the human experience by exploring boundaries of the self. Frequently adopting the biological garment as her visual language, her studio practice confronts privacy, intimacy, vulnerability, shame, and empathy. She often uses time and repetition to accumulate presence, then allows the weighted absence to ferment upon vacancy. In other performances and experiments, she captures moments of vulnerability by approaching the boundaries that separate the individual from the other with trust.
