I build three-dimensional collages from clay, porce-
                                  lain and found objects. These materials allow me
                                  to create spontaneous sculptural gestures and to
                                  preserve them through the firing process. I know the
                                  material - I follow it and emphasize its originality.
                                  Porcelain and its historical significance exemplify

                                  serves as a container for my ideas and thoughts.
                                  I am fascinated by past epochs - especially the ba-
                                  roque. My view is characterised by admiration and
 ment in favor of sweetness and   loving irony. I quote past stylistic elements and mix
                                  them with my personal language of forms - a bizarre

 sentimentality. A playful dis-   mixture - in search of the current zeitgeist.
                                  Another focus of my work is the connection between
                                  object and space. I question classical forms of pre-
 covery of the space in between   sentation and look for adequate solutions for the in-

 joy and melancholia”             My exhibition concepts often remind us of theatrical
                                  stage situations.
                                  I think of my work as a statement in favor of sweet-
                                  ness and sentimentality. A playful discovery of the
                                  space in between joy and melancholia, it aims at
                                  getting lost in details and characteristics and thus
                                  negotiates the nature of impermanence.

CLOUDY 2020
SARAH PSCHORN
CERAMIC OBJECTS, INSTALLATION

In her new group of works CLOUDY, Sarah Pschorn ex-
plores the possibilities of plastic deformation of porcelain.
She creates clusters, formations, clouds, waves, movement,
dance - powerful, moving, humorous sculptural forma-
tions - almost soft, almost solid. They are as intangible as
they are blurred. They seem to swell up. Or melting. As if
we hold our breath and for a moment everything is like
frozen, solidified, petrified, but we also know that at any
moment everything will start moving again. This new se-
ries by Sarah Pschorn is much more subtle than her earlier
works, and yet colour plays an important role in these new
pieces. She uses them here in a very subtle way - almost
invisible and only perceivable through the reflection of
light. Almost white. This colour palette is being explored
in the current porcelain sculptures. The painterly acti-
on is strongly related to the form and the process, so the
stroking, rubbing and pressing of the fingers into the soft
material is traced.

2020 - A year in which things are different. The artist‘s
work has also changed. The CLOUDY series was created
during a three-month residency in the former studio of
artist Gerhard Marcks in Niehagen on the Baltic Sea coast.
The constant northern lights of the studio and the elemen-
tal forces of nature influence the artist.

In November 2020, these works have been exhibited
together with the grafic work of the Berlin artist Valeria
Schneider in the She Bam! Gallery in Leipzig.

FIRST CONTACT 2017-18
SARAH PSCHORN
OBJEKT- /RAUMINSTALLATION

First Contact is a spatial installation that explores the connection
between object collages and their architectural surroundings. The
objects within the installation, mostly vessel-like collages of clay,
porcelain, glass and discarded objects, provide a sculptural interpre-
tation of a historially familiar repertoire of forms.The examination
of materiality and its aesthetics features largely in the work First
Contact. There are allusions to stylistic epochs, which attract and
repel each other, allowing an emotional study of form and colour to
emerge in the present setting, with the vessel becoming a symbolic
carrier of thoughts and ideas. The pieces of the installation emerged
from the atmosphere and vivacity of the space in which they were
created, an abandoned factory room in the west of Leipzig. They
carry like DNA the aesthetic and formal characteristics of the place
from which they originated, transporting this genetic information
into the exhibition space. For her solo exhibition in the Zuendker-
zenhalle at the Museum of Fine Arts, Sarah Pschorn expanded the
installation by adding two more works: Pushing each other further
und RAW.

COMMISSON WORK FOR GRASSI MUSEUMS LEIPZIG

„The reinterpretation of the Kaendler vase, with its characteristic

style and movement based on the historical form, remained un-

glazed - in exciting contrast to the shimmering brilliance of the

historical lid. This perfect encounter of historical and modern

perception also describes the multifaceted diversity of porcelain

as a material. Cast seams left standing document the history of

the manufacturing process.“ (Schnuppe von Gwinner)
