Omens & Auspices: Works by Sarah Bernstein

Rooted in my long-standing dream interpretation practice, this exhibition explores images, textures, and objects rich with symbolic potency and narrative potential. As an artist, I am constantly in dialogue with my own desire to create meaning, stringing together symbolic images like sentences to articulate a type of pre-alphabetic language.

This work weaves together diverse creative investigations—from “grass paintings” capturing ephemeral light and avian omens to digital videos inspired by the astrological timing of 19th-century Rocky Mountain Locust plagues.

By drawing from pastoralism, historical events, craft traditions, and contemporary digital techniques, this work blurs the boundary between timelessness and anachronism. It invites viewers to contemplate objects-symbols as the foundational elements of allegory and mysticism—enduring ways humans seek peace and meaning within our cyclical, phenomenological world.
