Remnants, Traces, and High Maintenance

Physical placement of objects and organisms in the world often appears random, unpredictable. Sacha Ingber’s work investigates the driving forces and logic, or lack thereof, behind the organization of these things. Things both living and inanimate, microscopic and massive. She is driven by a belief in the inherent seductive materiality of objects. Her work hovers in a space between object, still life, architecture, and model. It manifests as a vivid fragment of an object or as an architectural structure that wants to exist in a specific place. The materials and artifacts within the work are sometimes found and unaltered—bringing with them a distinct history—or highly manipulated, transformed into something other.
