Sara Black has worked broadly as an artist, artist-teacher, arts organizer and curator. Her work uses conscious processes of carpentry, wood-working, and repair as a time-based method, inherited building materials or other exhausted objects as material, and create works that aim to expose the complex ways in which things and people are suspended in worlds together. Sara received her MFA from the University of Chicago in 2006, acted as the director of the arts division at Antioch College from 2010 to 2014 and has since returned returned to Chicago in the role of Assistant Professor of Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
