Sarah Dunn is an interdisciplinary artist specializing in printmaking, bookmaking, painting, and textiles. The print techniques she most commonly works with are etching, silk screen, relief, and lithography. Her work explores the trauma she has endured as a biracial woman, a daughter of an immigrant, and a victim/survivor of abuse and documents her process of healing.
Using imagery specific to her family and childhood she digests and breaks down her past and present, often appropriating motifs directly from her childhood drawings and paintings. These motifs create a place of safety and security and act as the primary comforting force in her art and life.
Her work was most recently included in Paper and Clay at Woods-Gerry Gallery (Providence, RI) and she just finished a residency at Inly (Scituate, MA), a Montessori school where she taught Preschool through eighth grade.
