Sarah Schorr

Sarah Schorr is an artist-in-residence at the Center for the Study of Religion at Harvard Divinity School. A captivation with light, water, and modes of embodied contemplation runs through her work. Her new book, Ephemeral Field Journal: Climate + Love in Claude Monet’s Garden (published by Kehrer Verlag, 2025) follows her experiments with photography and water during her residency at Claude Monet’s Garden in Giverny. Sarah has received fellowships from the Terra Foundation for American Art, The Versailles Foundation, and the Danish Art Foundation for her work which is exhibited internationally. Since earning her PhD in media studies (2017), Sarah's research has focused on the continual evolution and transformation of photographic methods and theory in relation to emerging media. She is currently collaborating with CSWR Director Charles Stang on Skywater, a philosophy of water in words and text inspired by swimming in Walden Pond and the reflections of Henry David Thoreau.
