Sarah Hinds

Rooted in a study of inheritance, Help of the hopeless/aid me in my
distress examines Hinds’ upbringing and her connections to American identity, asking: What must we do with what we are given? Ruminating in the depths of shadow, she creates a perversion of an American landscape, prying apart the architectures of whiteness to examine its inborn violence. Objects of engrossment include a .22 caliber revolver given to her by her father, a pendant of St. Jude inherited from her grandfather, and motifs of rot. The images sprawl over deconstructed twin bed frames, forming an abject tapestry that darts between hardness and drapery. 

Sarah Hinds (b. 2002) is an interdisciplinary artist from New Hampshire. Her work is a method of cross-sectioning-a rumination on abjection, doctrine, and the tensions of inheritance.
