Sarah Roche

The work in The Collection grew out of the experience working with and around art objects while a member of the conservation gallery maintenance team at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Reflections in glass protecting the artwork are the root of the paintings, revealing unforeseen connections.  Art Cleaning Cart is a larger than life wood sculpture of the utility cart used to maintain the galleries. Installed among the paintings, it is a vehicle to identify with the viewpoint of the artist. Read the Brochure for The Collection with an essay by Lynn Smith designed by Mark Havens, both of whom are former gallery maintenance team members.
