Billie S.
In my artistic practice, Billie S. is not just a subject but an integral part of my creative process. Billie S. serves as a catalyst for working through the past, finding liberation, healing, and self-assurance, a fearless persona within me that frees me from self-criticism and embraces every part of who I am. For the past four years, I have created this work in the basement studio of my home. This exhibition marks the first time much of this art has been presented to the public. It feels especially fitting to present this work in the basement of my second home, the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center.

Sadie Goll — How Did We Get Here
Artist Statement
My work has been shaped by my background growing up in a rural community in Iowa. Industrial farming is a common practice in Iowa. It wasn’t a world that I was quite a part of until I began working as a mower at an industrial hog farm during the summers when I was in college. Growing up in Iowa, I was taught from a young age about agricultural practices and where our food comes from. There was a general knowledge of industrial farming in rural communities even without working on a farm. I worked on an industrial hog farm for four years mowing their operations. My work depicts my experience working around industrial hog confinements for four summers in Iowa. I navigate this industry in my work through my memories, through the things I saw and experienced. I focus on the things that impacted me. This collection of work depicts the workings of industrial hog farming and the complications of operating a large-scale farm. Much of this is not seen by many. Through my work, I shine a light on the realities of an industry that are usually invisible.
