Sarah Vandersall
Born in Northwest Ohio, Sarah Vandersall has been around clay all of her life, beginning with baking clay pots on the roofs of cars. She finds that holding onto one of the oldest living things helps her too manifest her most connected magical formations. Sarah's career has taken her all over the world collecting and translating experiences into observable formations. Vandersall has lived, shown, spoken about, and collaborated in New York, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Guangdong China, Accra Ghana, and Hawaii.
She traverses the ideas and facets in which we can, at the same time exist, and be spiritually one with our environments. Accessing our relationship to the elements through our existential worlds. She views humanity with all its twists and turns, wormholes, and ever-changing dynamics, as a place of invention. As we journey through life we transform, multiple times, and are rarely the same twice. Sarah has embraced this cycle of transformation and brings it into her practice of reimagining our avenues of perception.
Her current gemstone pieces encompass the ideas and practice of meditation. A bringing together and connecting with the ways that we can, and are spiritually coexisting with nature, and each other. At once grounding and affirming, Vandersall Gemstone Vessels are for: sipping in celebration or ceremony; for marking bodily or spiritual healing; for toasting alone or with loved ones to mark an occasion; also, for meditating and vibrational connecting. These pieces are symbols of celebration, and harmonious energy. They allow a place for spiritual healing and transformation into our own lives, as we balance and heal them.
