About this artwork
We encounter the Trojan in this piece in the moments before she destroys everything in her world with the exception of herself. The contents of a television have spilled into the figure's world. Dead Roadrunners and feathers littler the field below her, and a wary coyote watches her from a roof line. The entire piece is somewhat hazy with the exception of the space that the figure inhabits. This is because she is the only thing that is real. She…
holds a lit stick of dynamite which will lift the veil on anything untrue that no longer serves her.

« Art makes things beautiful when we need a form of pictorial escapism. Art makes things digestible when we need to address things that escapism doesn’t solve. »
Sarah Ernst is a prize-winning American artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. Her abstract and figurative abstractions are created using differing artistic approaches. In Ernst's abstract color compositions, she paints in an unpremeditated manner, playing with elements on canvas until it starts to form its own identity. In her other works, she explores cultural iconography by investigating its sources or by collapsing it with unexpected contexts in order to initiate questioning.
