Sandra Speidel’s  paintings explore figures moving through public environments such as airports and city streets. Her paintings suggest the representational but push the boundaries toward the abstract, creating flat textural surfaces of depth and ambiguity. Her figures move through crowds, Every person icons of modern life, in constant motion, hurrying, and often separated from one another by the very digital advances that are meant to connect them. Everything is changing, perpetually, so that even in stillness, all is in flux.
