Sabra Moon Elliot (b. 1980, New York, NY) received a Bachelor of Science in film from New York University and studied art history at Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy. Growing up she explored different mediums of art such as painting and film and attended art classes at the National Academy of Design. Her work has been exhibited at the Tribeca Artists Underground in New York City and SK Designs in Louisville, KY. She has exhibited locally at Ille Arts in Amagansett, NY, as well as the Fireplace Project, and Studio 11, both in East Hampton, NY. She first exhibited with Tripoli Gallery in 2015. In 2018, she had a two-person exhibition with Mary Heilmann at the gallery titled WAVY. In 2019, she exhibited alongside Kurt Gumaer and Mary Heilmann in a Tripoli Gallery container at The September Art Show at The Bridge Golf Club, Bridgehampton, NY. Her work was included in the exhibition, Enter Through the Desert in Wainscott, 2022, and A Magical Day at Ditch!, curated by Katherine Beenhardt, 2023.
Sabra Moon Elliot is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice engages with the relationships between, structure, color, and larger cultural and social phenomenon. Her geometric forms subvert the traditional linear structure of the grid, clashing against one another to create fragmented quilt-like shapes. Working across sculpture, installation, paintings, and ceramics, she is inspired by the inherent structures, forms, and colors found in nature as well as outsider American quilt-making traditions that are left out of the canon. Her work attempts to bridge those gaps or at least ignite a dialogue around them by exploring notions of visibility. Always following her intuition, her process is driven by improvisation. At times she physically disrupts the rules she employs to make her work, deploying different strategies to interrupt the surface through various gestures from poking holes to deconstructing the material.
