Sabina Rizos-Shaw

MY PRACTICE IS FOCUSED AROUND PAINTING AND TEXTILE SCULPTURE, OFTEN WITH A SUBVERSIVE IRONIC EDGE. IN MY WORK I LIKE TO EXPLORE THE LIMITS OF CONVENTIONS.   EXPLORING THE LIMITS OF CONVENTIONS     “IT SEEMS LIKE SABINA USES THE PROCESS OF CREATION TO WORK THROUGH A PERSONAL PLACE. SADNESS, GRIEF AND CONFLICT MIGHT GIFT PASSIVE AGGRESSION, OR CONFRONTATION, OR JUST SOMETIMES, GENUINE LOVE.”   “THERE’S AN ATTITUDE”   “PROCLAMATIONS- SHE IS USING ARTEFACTS THAT SUGGEST A CERTAIN KIND OF MEDIATION”   “STIMULATING- NOT JUST FUNNY WORK”   “UNAPOLOGETICALLY GIRLY”   “ADVANCED CAPITALISM?”   “IT’S SELF-DISPLAY, WAYS OF PUTTING SABINA OUT THERE. PLAYING WITH EXPOSURE AND CONFRONTATION”   “YOUR WORK IS REALLY NARCISSISTIC”- MY FRIEND ASHLEY.   “ALMOST HAUNTING”   “REPRODUCTION”   “REPLICATION”   “I’VE SEEN A LOT OF FABRIC WORK”
