She was a prominent figure in the Black Arts Movement of the 1970s, which engaged myths and stereotypes about race and femininity. Recently, The Huntington Library commissioned Sayre to create a large-scale work, resulting in "Drifting Toward Twilight" (2023), a site-specific installation that features a 17-foot-long wooden canoe and found objects, including birdcages, antlers, and natural materials harvested by Saar from The Huntington's grounds.Octavo: 59 p. with numerous illustrations (some color).
