Sasha Parks is a Seattle-based artist who works with diverse media and techniques including drawing, painting, sculpture, public interventions, textiles, photography, and found materials.  Her inspiration draws from repetition in the natural world, patterns found in the creation of textiles, in music and dance, while driven to explore themes that give voice to her experiences related to gender, digital technology, and hierarchies. She endeavors to be in dialogue with her community, with other artists, thinkers and cultural participants. Sasha has lived mostly on Coast Salish and Duwamish land in the Seattle area, and includes her Irish and Polish immigrant ancestry as part of her investigations into identity and her relationship to place. Her academic history includes Brown University and the University of Washington, and the study of art history, studio art, dance and semiotics. Her work here includes art work as an expression of recent concepts and themes, as well as textiles and wood pieces that reveal a love of making and her connection to ancestral craft.
