About the Work

This was a study I had started many years ago, experimenting with sewing pieces of my weaving onto rug canvas, then adding latch hook and hand embroidery. When exploring new techniques and materials, the sketches are still textiles, though they don't always become part of the larger works.

Sarah Zapata (1988) is an American textile artist based in Brooklyn, New York City. Her works address themes of labor, systems of power, queerness, and the intersection of identity. 

Zapata exhibited in CYBER HEALING in 2020 at The Latinx Project.
