Sabrina Horak
In her work, Sabrina Horak is examining her identity and the numerous factors influencing it- religion, womanhood, her half-Japanese-half-Austrian heritage, and being an artist.
Horak is mainly depicting herself, and in this series, her body becomes the literal mountain from the exhibition title. Small figures, that resemble Horak as well are climbing up or resting on the various body parts, taking a rest from their ascension, gazing into the distance.
The vividly colored works are executed on veneer wood that she first cuts into shapes with a jigsaw before painting them with acrylics. Then additional elements, such as the smaller human figures cut from wood or canvas, gold chains, tassels, and screws, are attached to provide additional texture to the surface. Horak thinks that her work process of combining separate elements and uniting them in one piece of work- whether that might be on paper or wood-is a reflection of how she is trying to achieve unity between what feels are separate parts of her identity. A struggle, she is trying to share with the viewer in a visually stimulating and entertaining form.
