Sarah Baek is GlogauAIR resident from January 2026 to March 2026. Q1
Sarah Baek is a painter whose practice begins with the question of how memory is felt rather than recalled. While her earlier works focused on translating the emotional sensations of remembered moments, her recent practice examines how memory changes over time. Certain parts fade, while others remain at the edges. Through selective use of material, partial layering, and fragmented surfaces, she explores how memory is experienced through varying degrees of intensity.

Statement
Sarah Baek is a painter whose practice begins with the question of how memory is felt rather than recalled. While her earlier works focused on translating the emotional sensations of remembered moments, her recent practice examines how memory changes over time. Certain parts fade, while others remain at the edges. Through selective use of material, partial layering, and fragmented surfaces, she explores how memory is experienced through varying degrees of intensity. Painting functions as a space where memory is continuously reshaped through sensation.
GlogauAIR Project
This project explores how memory is experienced through differences in intensity rather than as a fixed narrative. Focusing on selective use of matière and partial layering, the work investigates how certain memories surface more strongly while others fade or remain fragmented. By working with recycled paper, paint, and varied surface treatments, the project examines contrasts of density, softness, and transparency as a way to articulate sensory fluctuation. The process leads to small studies and mid-sized works that clarify how material decisions reflect the shifting strength and duration of memory.
