Sasha Wortzel
Sasha Wortzel uses video, photography, installation, sculpture, sound, and printmaking to explore how this country’s past and present are inextricably linked through resonant spaces and their hauntings. Raised in South Florida/Miccosukee and Seminole lands and based in New York City/Lenape lands, Wortzel specifically attends to sites and stories systematically erased or ignored from these regions’ histories. Tangled dynamics of desire and loss layered in the landscape and reverberating across time form a through-line in her work.
Sasha Wortzel has exhibited work at Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland; Brooklyn Museum, New York; and New Museum, New York, among others.
