Sarah J Newall
Art + Design + Fashion + Sustainability
Sarah Newall who is currently based in rural Victoria completed her PhD thesis, ‘New still life,’ which investigated the placement and role of still life in contemporary art in 2010. In 2013 with partner Jane Polkinghorne, Sarah created an ARI, Marrickville Garage, out of their suburban garage.
Since 2014 the focus and direction of Sarah’s practice has been on sustainability. She is trying to live by the zero waste principles of refuse, reduce, recycle, reuse, and rot. In line with this she is rethinking her wardrobe to bring it in line with sustainable principles, and to bypass the possibility of buying unethically produced clothing that is poor quality ‘fast fashion’. Sarah creates seasonal wardrobes called ‘Fashist’ out of used and recycled clothes, as well as acquired materials from Reverse Garbage, fabric remnant shops, donated materials and wool from family and friends. Fashist will now be forever ongoing and evolving.
