A circle of women sit together sewing, knitting, and supporting each other in this mixed media painting. They are feminine consciousness. A string connects one of the mender's work to a cloud like form that represent the universe. This small group of women are stitching things back together and quietly keeping the universe moving towards harmony. This artwork features a mix of technique including watercolor figures, alcohol ink clouds, and india ink drawing on paper. This is a part of my series of works about motherhood, where giving birth and parenting are spiritual and consciousness awakening experiences. Furthermore, the lessons of parenting deepen my connection to mindfulness and the natural world. They all instill a sense of awe in me. They are meditations on the brevity of man and the natural environment, and ultimately our interconnection. I am further thinking about the complex and invisible nature of women’s or caregiver’s labor and how this impacts the formation of a child’s identity beginning at birth. The way we tend to these things is reflective of our society as a whole. These are the contemplations, inside the paintings, drawings, and collages, and animations, I am making.

I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. Primarily I work with paint, but I have been animating my paintings and collages for the past ten years. With these mediums, I enjoy telling the story of a person or place. 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, currently in its ninth year. 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.
