Sarah Knight

Sarah Knight (they/them) is an artist currently living and working in Saint Louis, Missouri. They grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and received a BFA from Mills College in Oakland, California. They graduated with an MFA from Washington University in Saint Louis. Their current work focuses on the reorientation of fragmentary queer narratives. How can we reappropriate dominant narratives of queer history while highlighting the absences of certain voices? How can we bring out these gaps in knowledge to better understand our contemporary queer identities? How can non-histories, non-narratives, and uncomfortable disjointed non-places serve us in communicating our understanding of the world? While a “research-based artist,” their practice hinges on the material properties of melting stone, sublimation, offgassing, and shattering. Geology, topography, cartography, minerology, and mythology all play a central role in Knight’s exploration of material.
