Sarah Tortora: Book of Sand

Sarah Tortora is a visual artist living and working in New York City. Through sculpture, writing, and digital photography, her work addresses Classical archetypes and museological display, accepting the premise that every equestrian monument is truly a Trojan horse. She received an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and attended residencies at Skowhegan, MacDowell, and Ox-Bow School of Art, among others. Some group and solo exhibitions of her work have been on view at Essex Flowers (NYC), Wellesley College (Massachusetts), Tiger Strikes Asteroid in New York and Los Angeles; and Fjord (Philadelphia). Sarah is represented by Ulterior Gallery in New York City, and recently held a yearlong residency fellowship at ISCP (International Studio and Curatorial Program) in Brooklyn. In Spring 2024, Tortora was the Windgate Artist in Residence at Purchase College.
