COLLAGE ON VIEW<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Porter: The Buried Sun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Delight Factory in Brooklyn, New York, USA
29 May-27 June 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition brings together thirteen new mixed-media works that evoke both perpetual loss and volatile renewal. Porter sources figures from vintage photographs\u2014Civil War soldiers, boxers, children, odalisques\u2014and layers them over watercolor, acrylic, and collage backgrounds. The phototransfer technique gives the figures a dangerous transparency, leaving them on the edge of obliteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, \u201cThe Buried Sun\u201d also reveals loss as metamorphosis. Hundreds of individually cut collage slivers from vintage magazines detach from their original contexts and radiate in explosive colors across the works in beams, halos, and starbursts, breaking free from containment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porter has said of the work: \u201cTo create in our current era of brutality and destruction is to grieve. But it is also to commit to the radiance that cannot go out: to a sun that is buried, but burning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title piece, The Buried Sun<\/em>, holds the exhibition\u2019s central tension: a sun trapped halfway below ground, entangled with roots and bones, simultaneously buried and emergent, bursting out in new life and luminance. Across the show, this image of constrained but irrepressible energy recurs, in storm clouds entering quiet rooms and figures on the edge of dissolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
