Star Trauth
My work is mainly fiber in one of my signature processes. My work explores how much my material can take before it burns to nothing. It starts as waste converted to fiber. I give it life again just to see how far I can stretch it. Literally. I hand mold and fire mold each component. Each one is its work of art. I assemble it into mounted or freestanding low-relief sculptures. I’m taking waste from man and bending it to my will to give back something interesting and beautiful.
She works, mainly in the fiber media using original processes to complete her vision. Her practice seeks to attract the audience visually with a desire for tactile engagement. She’s sought to create new art mediums with environmentalism in mind, using recycled flat pliable textiles. Star hand molds and flame sculpts each piece, miniature original works of art in their own right, then melds them as free-standing sculpture, assemblage, or wall hanging. Her work is heavily inspired by music and experiences from her adventurous life.
Her work has been featured and many interesting exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse at Camp Gallery in Miami, Beyond Borders at Chang Kil Hwan Museum in South Korea, and Yoko Ono’s Arising currently at The Nobel Peace Center.
