Sibylle Peretti

Sibylle Peretti's work explores the relationship between time, loss, emotion, memory, and solitude. Through her multimedia collages and sculptures, Peretti offers a narrative into which the people and animals in her work give way. Much of her work combines photography and drawing with surface interventions such as engraving, mirroring, and glass slumping. Peretti's quiet scenes balance themes of nostalgia and loss, while also urging the viewer to look inward. 

 "My chosen animals—bobcats, coyotes, hawks, and foxes—are the inhabitants of the Hinterlands, areas where encroaching civilization meets the wilderness. The work is an affirmation of life, represented by the animals I portray, as well as a warning of the impending loss—both societal and environmental.” — Sibylle Peretti
