Sarah House earned her BFA from Temple University's Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, and moved to New Orleans to complete her MFA from Tulane University in 2010. She has participated in nine Artist in Residence programs both internationally as well as within the United States. House is a Lamar Windgate Fellow, a Nyburg Fellow, and a 2022 Career Advancement Grant recipient form the Center for Craft. She is a Visual Arts instructor at New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts and the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. House works primarily with porcelain to create sculpture and installation art inspired by the beauty of natural fractals. Her works use abstracted forest imagery as a visual language to communicate ideas of interconnection through fractal patterns. specifically fungal threads beneath the forest floor; trees use this system to communicate with each other and share resources. This example of interconnection through fractals is symbolic of the bigger picture: how we are connected to all life and landscape. The works all reference nature in familiar yet ambiguous ways, inviting the viewer to imagine a root system, a reef, a body, and find connection, and hopefully, reminding the viewer of the complex beauty of nature.
