Sarah Ortmeyer
Dvir Gallery
«Sarah Ortmeyer’s work is both nuts and serious, intellectually challenging as well as visually stunning, refined in its execution and yet emotionally completely raw. Many of the themes in Ortmeyer’s work draw from the her keen interest in — and uncanny understanding of — cultural, human, and political interrelations, whether contemporary or historic, highbrow or lowbrow, academic or punk.»
