Crave Magazine Podcast, Episode 7: Sarah Rockett
"Sarah Rockett knows all too well the intended meaning of her work. She understands the subjective nature of each piece, and yet she pulls the strings of dialogue regardless of the viewer. Her latest series is on the of subject wealth and the price put on materialism. The value of objects that were once considered trash, now elevated into ‘art’. The saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” has never been more apropos than when contemplating this work. " - Jim Wills
