This exhibition brings together the work of Suzanne Sanger and her daughter Anne Sanger, two abstract artists whose practices unfold miles and states apart, yet remain connected by an enduring dialogue across generations.
Suzanne Sanger, a fiber artist, finds inspiration in the natural world—its oceanic topographies, botanical rhythms, and organic forms. Her work reflects the textures of earth and sea, translating nature’s shifting, living surfaces into tactile abstractions that explore her fascination with the life cycles of growth, decay, and regeneration. Beginning with a painted fabric ground, she layers cut and painted silk, appliquéd surfaces, and expressive stitching. Guided by intuition, play, and a spirit of experimentation, she embraces chance and serendipity to reveal each piece’s distinctive character.
Anne Sanger’s most recent paintings emerge from daily walks with her dog, Vladimir, where she witnesses how light and color transform the familiar landscape. Inspired by the impressionistic sensibilities of Claude Monet, Anne’s canvases capture the fleeting sensations of summer - foliage shimmering in hues of blue and green, filtered through memory of her earliest exposure to art: learning about Monet and Impressionism. That sense of discovery, safety, and familiarity continues to reverberate through these latest paintings.
Together, mother and daughter reveal the ways in which artistic vision is shaped by lineage, place, and experience. Suzanne’s fiber works, grounded in nature’s structures, and Anne’s luminous impressionistic abstractions, shaped by light and memory, create a dialogue that is both intimate and expansive. Their work speaks to the ways creativity threads itself across generations, evolving into distinct voices yet tethered by shared roots.
