Sara Breinlinger’s current work explores the interplay between structure and fragmentation using geometry not as a system of control but as a framework within which disruption can occur. Gesture and geometry collaborate, shaping and undoing one another in a dynamic visual dialogue. The grid, often a symbol of stability and logic, becomes a site of rupture—allowing for slippage, imbalance, and ambiguity—where each piece unfolds as a negotiation between what is felt and what is measured.

Constructed through a deeply physical process of layering, tearing, cutting, and sanding, her collages and paintings reflect a tactile engagement with material and time—often messy, instinctive, and always full of reworking. Shapes are repeated and fractured while colours converse in both concord and tension, shifting between quiet agreement and sharp interruption. The results are pieces that carry the marks of their own making: textured, irregular, and layered.

Sara is drawn to moments when systems falter—where clarity gives way to imperfection, and meaning emerges from disruption or collapse. Her compositions pulse with a rhythmic exchange—balancing containment and release, cohesion and disintegration. Rather than resolve these tensions, her pieces keep them alive—breathing, shifting, and carrying the memory of both.
