About

Sarah Theurer Hunt is an interdisciplinary artist based in Fort Worth, Texas. Hailing form the Rocky Mountain region, and devoted to time outdoors, Sarah has been repeatedly drawn to the chaotic systems that govern the landscape, and the ability to re-encounter these walks as images. She views the landscape systematically, as a language learned experientially, and a visual tool for further research into space, psychological systems, and time.

She notes, “The most direct way to gather resources from my surrounding ecosystem is by my physical body walking through them. In considering these movements, I gain a better understanding of my own space and physical self.”

Sarah’s recent work considers the mental space in motherhood, allowing layers of paint and imagery to push and pull between environments. Her processes involve layers of removal and retrieval, adding up washes and sanding through layers of paint, in consideration of the psychological drain that results from a constant mental hum of caretaking, and the invisible workload that becomes that mental space.
