Profile

Sarah Palmer is a photographer and visual artist who has been teaching at Parsons since 2010. She has had solo exhibitions at Mrs. Gallery, Aperture (in conjunction with the Aperture Portfolio Prize), and The Wild Project. Her work has been exhibited in recent years at The Carnegie (Covington, KY), Transmitter (Brooklyn, NY), Monti 8 (Latina, Italy), Rachel Uffner Gallery (NYC), Tiger Strikes Asteroid (Brooklyn, NY), Van Doren Waxter and Kristen Lorello Galleries (NYC, joint exhibition), and Launch F18 (NYC). Recent commissions include The New Yorker, The New York Times (Opinion, Styles, and Arts Sections), The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Magazine, and New Directions Press. She has been self-publishing a series of artist books since 2015. Her practice, based in the studio, envisions a wide-ranging and complex conversation about the physical and psychological worlds we inhabit, exploring such disparate topics as performative eroticism, environmental calamity, and photography’s complex relationship to representation.
