Repose
Monotype, 2023


Sariah Park addresses issues of identity, culture, and the act of making in relation to Land. Her work questions how intrinsic identity informs what and how we make, and speaks to the devastating effects of overconsumption on the environment.

These monotypes repurpose and reimagine damaged textiles and materials into new forms as part of her Printing with Waste series. Her work shows the transformation of material made immaterial, craft as a form of ceremony, and the transfer of energy and spirit into a living process, striving to become in balance with the natural world. 

Sariah Park is an interdisciplinary artist of Indigenous descent and an enrolled member of the Chiricahua Apache Nation. Sariah’s work has been featured in Hyperallergic, the Wall Street Journal, Women’s Wear Daily, Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship (2019), as well as grants from Creative Capital, Foundation for the Arts, and the CERF+. Her work is included in portfolios, traveling exhibitions, and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. She is currently Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Social Justice at Parsons School of Design where she has been teaching art and design for the last thirteen years.
