Sabina Ott (October 8, 1955 – June 26, 2018) was an American artist known for her broad range of work—from painting to installation to sculpture—and her central role in the art world as teacher, administrator, and recently, as the founder of the exhibition space Terrain, which invites artists to create installations and performances using the exterior of her Oak Park home.… Ott’s sculptures, however are predominantly founded in dense, white Styrofoam material scored and fashioned into large, organic shapes. Into this material Ott may insert various colors or found objects like clocks, cloth, and mirrors embedded into the surface. Ott’s sculptures are not always three-dimensional; they may hang on a wall or from the ceiling, or rest upon a shelf. This title seems to be an apt one, that not all material is immaterial.
