About The Artwork
After scribbling away on upholstery patterns for a while, I began to notice that I always return to the figure. As abstract as I thought the drawings were, I would find something figurative and pull it out of the drawing. Sometimes when I fall asleep at night, images can find their way into my mind. This image of a female figure hugging her knees and looking up and out felt like it needed to be expressed in my work. I did not have any large sewing patterns, having accidentally picked up patterns that had already been cut up. I decided to sew them together, enjoying the idea of stitching something back to being a usable thing. In a way, how we stitch pieces of our lives together, to make it look in a way it was originally not. We embellish our mistakes, we recreate our view, we build and make stronger from pieces that were rearranged and dissembled. By sewing the pieces together, I made the fragile pattern paper stronger, and recreated it into a free form shape, not incumbent upon four straight sides. The freedom from the constrained square or rectangle gives it a subtle power, while maintaining its fragility. For life is fragile, and our memories even more delicate. It’s about rebuilding ourselves, and she is not ashamed, she is assured.

Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar is a contemporary artist living and working in New Jersey. Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Christine focuses on the female form as her muse, mostly conjured from self-portraits, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. Christine received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993, and after living in New York City, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums having stretched the limits from making her own oil paints to using shellac and iron filings to transforming her work to the mixed media technique she has developed more recently. Her current process uses graphite and charcoal, along with ink and pure pigments brushed or scratched on, along with oil and acrylic paint.
