Considerations: An Installation by Sarah Vaughn
On view through August 10, 2025

Sarah Vaughn’s “Considerations” invites visitors to step into a landscape of thousands of carefully crafted glass river rocks. Each glass rock represents a moment in time—some tied to personal memories, others shaped from reclaimed glass, blending stories of loss and creation.

Vaughn’s glass rocks amplify these familiar associations while asking us to reflect on their delicate, untouchable surfaces. Like rocks in a riverbed, changing and smoothing over time, memories tumble through our minds over years and decades. They can become smoother, but they can also sharpen, grow indelible, or fade until they disappear entirely.
