About the Trainer
Sarah is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans across sculpture, video, sound, electronics, and code. She often plays with juxtapositions and contradictions in form and function, resolving discordant elements into a continuous body: retrofitted industrial objects with fabricated parts, a wall of connected electronics with sonic reflections but no purpose. Currently, she works at U of T’s Myhal Centre Fabrication Facility, providing fabrication guidance and equipment assistance to students. Previously, she worked at OCAD U’s Rapid Prototyping Centre where she gained 4 years of experience with a wide range of digital fabrication methods and machines.
