Sarah Hasse is a working-class artist concerned with issues of labor, consumption, and gender. Her experiences as a caregiver, factory worker, educator, and survivor inform her work.
Built in opposition to the increasing exploitation of the Earth and her peoples, Sarah’s quilts reference American midwestern nostalgia, repetitive labor, hope in imperfection, and freedom in the colors and patterns of everyday life.
Sarah holds degrees from Knox College, Maryland Institute College of Art, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She lives, works, and imagines a better future in Chicago.
