Sarah Crofts is a multi-disciplinary artist working with time-based processes to examine power dynamics embedded in physical and social landscapes. These concerns grew from her childhood in North Adams, Massachusetts, a town which endured two significant erasure events: the demolition of a thriving neighborhood to build a highway bypass and the subsequent demolition of half of Main Street for an unrealized “urban renewal” project. The impact of both projects echoes through multiple generations, having displaced elder members of Crofts’ family, it now informs her critique of real estate development in her longtime home of Red Hook, Brooklyn.
