In Amparo Sard’s latest video series water is the most important element, often coupled by an additional leit motif such as a carpet, a landscape, a flashlight, and a wooden raft. Sard uses her props symbolically.  For example, in one work, the carpet represents mistake, marking a difference between two worlds, or two options, the empty space and the filled space. 

Sard uses her familiar motif–the white dress–to represent subliminal language started in the Fly Woman series.  In the Fly Woman series Sard reflects on the doubt and anguish produced by indecision.  Through the work Sard speaks to the implication of mistakes, without revealing what the ultimate consequences may be.

Sard’s practice encompasses mixed media from video art and pin-hole drawings to full scale installation.  Sard’s artwork presents mysterious scenes focusing on a drowning woman and monstrous flies.
