Images and essay in the 2007 Manifest International Drawing Annual

 

 

Sara Schneckloth works in a variety of media as a way to explore the potential of contemporary drawing practice. Currently residing in South Carolina, Schneckloth holds an MFA from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and has lived and worked in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and Cape Town, South Africa.  Her drawings have been shown throughout the US and South Africa, and were recently featured in the 2007 Wisconsin Triennial and the 2008 Columbus Biennial (GA).  Her essays on drawing theory and practice have appeared in the journal of visual culture and the Manifest International Drawing Annual. 

 

Drawing on the visual culture of science, Schneckloth creates images that speak to the physical and emotional processes of remembering.  The notion of the gesture factors strongly into her work, figuring as both the mark on the page and as an invitation for viewers to intimately interact with her drawings. 

 

Schneckloth is an Assistant Professor of Drawing at the University of South Carolina in Columbia.
