Life and work

Sigal was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

She works with painting, sculpture and architecture. Her constructions insinuate themselves into the fabric of the built environment. She will take a Sheetrock wall, cut into it, pull back sections, poke a sightline through to a false or a found wall on which she has exposed or composed a painted surface.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
