ABOUT THE ARTWORK
After receiving permission from the Crown Candy restaurant to paint, I set up at a booth in the front of the store. I proceeded to paint the environment of the space and the changing crowd over a series of days. The space was the color of sherbert, and the retro decor had a certain nostalgia that reminded me of Old Ice Cream shops. This artwork is currently framed in a wooden frame that is covered in doilies. This frame protects the art and comes optionally with the painting. During Graduate school, I discovered Baudelaire's notion of the flaneur via Walter Benjamin, and became enchanted with the notion of this urban wanderer whom, while meandering, examines the pyschogeography, or the impact of the environment, on the emotions and behaviors of an individual as they walk through the city. In the case of these paintings, I like to think they have some of the energy of the space. The Female Flaneur Exploration was for me, about challenging notions of femaleness and the role of the female in public spaces, by intentional making myself vulnerable and approachable through the public act of impressionistic painting in St. Louis. Enroute, I discovered issues of permission, safety, and interaction.

Sarah Paulsen
United States
My art centers engagement with social change through the sharing of stories in community spaces. I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. I examine identity through illustrating stories that are intimate and comment on larger social issues. Primarily I work with paint, but I additionally construct animated films made from my artwork, using stop motion animation techniques. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
