Sarah Vogwill's installation, Sentimental Education, works through the loss of representations invested with a 19th century sentimental aesthetic.

A series of glass shelves on decorative brackets presents arrangements of mementos, found objects, and photographs embodying the melancholic tone of this work.Here La Vie Interieur is defended as the refuge of emotional introspection against the encroaching metropolis.

But the pleasures of melancholy run up against the threat of public repression. "Don't cry," say the Narcissus-like mirrors. The viewer is nonetheless invited to participate: offered a seat in Uncle Selby's Chair near a plant sobbing shrilly; and finally, a calling card, with the words "What's it like to know I've seen your tears."
