Molly Sawyer and Susan Goodwin on Every Word: A Reader’s 90-day Guide to the Bible

Molly Sawyer used to sculpt stylized horses and human figures from clay. That changed after her battle with breast cancer. "The work became a response to my own direct experience with life, death," she said. "I guess the issue of mortality has always been present in my deeper thought process." Today, Sawyer's work is a mashup of found objects such as driftwood, stone and metal rods with braided or balled-up wool, twine, ash and fur. She usually works large, with some installations at once clumped on the floor, leaning against a wall and hanging from the ceiling. The dimensions and materials make this body of work difficult to place in galleries focused on sales, but Sawyer is riding a wave of exposure in area museums and art centers. She's among the 50 artists invited into the Asheville Art Museum's "Appalachia Now!" exhibition, and Sawyer is soon opening solo shows at Revolve in Asheville and at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.
