Fabric and Thread Illustrations by Sarah Trahan


Sarah Trahan is an artist and art educator originally from Michigan whose fabric and thread illustrations recently caught my eye. Mystical, soothing, and serene. That's the vibe I get from her art. Via her website:

"Sarah Trahan is an artist interested in the intersection between technology and handmade materiality. Using an interdisciplinary approach, her work experiments with emerging technologies and investigates how unfinished or imperfect artifacts of these technologies can trigger reflection on our collective perceptions of labor, value, and authorship.

Sarah is currently based in Ipswich, MA and serves as Assistant Professor and Digital Fabrication Studio Director at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA. Her work is shown regularly in gallery spaces across the U.S. and is published internationally."




Incredibly beautiful work, I would love to see these up close. Follow Sarah on Instagram to enjoy seeing her latest creations.
