Sarah Sense: Land, Line, Blood, Memory is scheduled for 17 September through 21 November 2026. The exhibition comprises more than twenty new photo-weavings and introduces Sense’s first Tree Weaving Quilt.
The new photo-weavings are made from the artist’s contemporary landscape photographs, archival documents, historical images, maps, printed bamboo and rice papers, cotton thread, ribbon, and hand-prepared rivercane.
The exhibition considers the relationship between Indigenous people and ancestral land, alongside systems of representation, ownership, and erasure that have attempted to sever that connection. Sense is a Chitimacha/Choctaw artist known for photo-weavings that combine contemporary landscape photographs, historical imagery, maps, government records, family archives, and hand-prepared rivercane, drawing upon traditional basketry patterns.
‘Land, Line, Blood, Memory’ is on view at Bruce Silverstein Gallery. Its opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, 17 September 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m.
