Sheridan Hines

““What makes you uncomfortable?” This question sits at the center of Sheridan Hines’s evolving practice. Hines creates sculpture that moves toward subjects people are often taught to avoid. Her work began with personal experiences of chronic illness and medical trauma and has grown into an exploration of trauma, violence, intimacy and the vulnerability of the body. She works with resin, silicone, industrial materials, salvaged objects and biomatter to create forms that feel both familiar and unsettling. Hines is interested in the moment when something becomes uncomfortable and what that feeling can reveal. Rather than turning away from difficult subjects, she uses discomfort to create space for conversation and understanding.

Based in Dallas, Hines has been an active member of the Goldmark Cultural Center and has exhibited throughout Texas. Her work was recognized with the Clare Hart DeGolyer Memorial Fund from the Dallas Museum of Art in 2024 and a Nasher Sculpture Center Artist Grant in 2025. Her current work continues to examine how trauma can live within the body and the spaces we call home. Through sculpture, Hines invites viewers to confront what they might normally look away from. Her practice is constantly changing as she asks a simple question: what makes us uncomfortable and why?”
