Sarah Burns’ solo exhibition at Marta LA features a series of furniture designs informed by her childhood in the Midwest, drawing from traditional American materials and craft
Affirming its role as a true tastemaker in American design, the curators of the Los Angeles gallery Marta have handed over their space to Sarah Burns, an artist, designer and all-around rising figure in the New York creative circle.
Burns, a former studio assistant of the artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz, has gained recognition for her vintage jewellery store Old Jewellery, which pairs its large online presence with a hidden store tucked away within a Chinatown shopping mall, where she fuses her affection for gestural forms of all scales together with her ironic sense of humour.
The pieces have been loosely displayed in Room Groups, that reimagine the traditional programmes of the domestic space. Her ‘Knob’ screen serves as a room divider yet facilitates interaction with its circular cutouts. Similarly, the ‘Coastal’ mirror can be swivelled and adjusted, just like the side view mirrors on tractor-trailer trucks, to create new dynamics with a room.
Having worked with a host of well-loved New York names, such as the interior designer Giancarlo Valle and fashion designer Rachel Comey, Burns has naturally developed her furniture practice, first making pieces for her own home and then for the Old Jewellery store as well. Speaking about the overlap between jewellery and furniture, Burns says, ‘Jewellery and furniture can be playful without sacrificing functionality – [my] things have to look good but they also have to feel right, and vice versa. Similarly, they can both be forms of adornment, and they're both inseparable from the body. It's all related. Both jewellery and furniture need the body to complete the work, yet they have the ability to exist autonomously as objects.
