Mew Gallery presents You Will Always Have Your Self - more than 20 new pieces by Sarah Pohlman June 7 - July 18, 2008. Check out the opening reception Saturday, June 14th from 5 to 9 pm. Mew Gallery is located at 906 Christian Street in South Philadelphia.

This body of work distinctively documents my personal connections with the situations life presents me and my response to those situations through a visual mixed media-collage narrative. Outlining a year of upheaval, transformation, and unexpected outcomes, this work represents the inner thoughts and visual lexicon of my own mind in relation to things I could not initially control. As the work progresses there is a distinct change in mood to a position of empowerment and personal understanding, but also a definitive humbleness in regard to the unknown and the miniscule nature of my existence in the expanse of the universe. The work examines my self in microcosmic terms, within and related to macrocosmic context.

Check out the Merchantville Craft & Fine Arts Festival this weekend. I will have a table set up with other 13 North artists in front of the gallery (13 N. Centre Street, Merchantville, NJ) on Saturday, May 17 from 10am - 5pm rain or shine!

My work will be on display along with pieces by other members of the 13 North Gallery collective for “Emergence.” The exhibit will feature work by JoAnne Castelli Castor, Elliott Karetny and the collective members May 2nd - June 27th. The artist’s reception in may 2nd from 6-10 pm. 13 North Gallery is located at 13 North Centre Street, Merchanville, NJ.

I will be exhibiting April 27th as part of the Fairmount Arts Crawl in Philadelphia. The Fairmount Arts Crawl is a community arts open house – where the entire Fairmount district becomes a showplace for local art and music, displayed and performed on the streets and in restaurants, bars, cafes, and other local businesses - all with an open door policy for the day.

My work will be on display at the Hauptman Family Health Center at 2000 Hamilton Street, Suite 303 from 2-6 pm. For more information, visit http://www.fairmountartscrawl.org/.
