Professionally, Sarah Alyssa Sanders has applied their creative background to developing operational solutions at startups like Handy & Knotel. A born tinkerer, they gravitate toward work that challenges them to solve cross-disciplinary puzzles. They are always learning a new skill or medium.
Sanders' personal art is focused primarily on the construction of identity-most notably, the schism between thought and behavior and between private and public.
Who a person “is” is increasingly fluid, but people are generally defined by a fixed set of traits. If someone strays from the behavior expected of those traits, they are perceived as disingenuous.
Earlier in their work, this was explored in conjunction with the subjects of celebrity/brand and adulthood, using film, sound, and photography. More recently, it has been expressed through costuming in order to probe the experiential boundaries of marginalized identities.
