About Sadie Sheldon
Sadie Sheldon is an interdisciplinary artist living in the United States. Her immersive installations reflect our rapidly changing landscape, magnifying the effects of post-consumer waste and plastics on the natural world. Sourcing from the city in which they are created, her works explore community identity from the things we leave behind. Sheldon is a founding member of the Aquarium Collective and Majaks Theater, a board member at Beaubourg Free School, and an MFA graduate from Tulane University. She is constantly making work at home in the South and at residencies across the world, with fully-funded residencies and fellowships from the Birdsell Project, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, Basement6, Laboratory, Vermont Studio Center, Breckenridge Create, Kuona Trust, Elsewhere Museum, and Stove Works. Sheldon was the 2018 recipient of the Art Prize Big Pitch Award.

My work is project-based, often determined by the materials I find and the space I have available to me. My interest lies in storytelling, imbuing forgotten objects with new meaning and creating social commentary on the ways we see.”
