Sarah Martin-Nuss is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, performance, and sound. Her work draws from biological systems, philosophical post-humanist thought, and the intricate web of ecological relationships, exploring themes of interconnectivity, transformation, and time.

In 2021, she was commissioned to compose a forty-minute sound installation that premiered at Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, as part of a performance by multimedia artist Katya Grokhovky. A rendition of this installation was also performed as part of the Six Foot Platform Residency, organized by the Brooklyn Arts Council.
