Born in the United Kingdom, Sarah Blood is an artist, curator, and educator. She has enjoyed an active studio practice since 1999, exhibiting her work internationally alongside contemporary artists such as Bruce Nauman, Agnes Denes, Glenn Ligon, Sarah Lucas, and Tracy Emin. In her practice, Blood seeks to reveal moments that challenge our perception of permanence and vulnerability. Concerned with light and phenomenology, she plays with the relationship between materials, space, and the viewer. Light, predominantly neon, seeks a non-luminous counterpoint that brings conceptual, physical, and visual weight to the work, creating immersive experiences that speak to human existence and ideas. Blood is currently Associate Professor of Light, and Head of Sculpture Dimensional Studies in the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. She teaches neon techniques and processes to undergraduate and graduate students within a sculptural framework. Blood has been teaching at Alfred University, NY since 2013
