Dub Freight series by Sarah CrowEST in the Lottozero online store!
A special edition of the Dub Freight project by Sarah CrowEST is now available on the Art section of the Lottozero online store.
The Dub Freight is an ongoing and participatory project begun in 2020 as a way to use materials at hand, make something out of nothing in constrained circumstances (Covid 19 lockdowns) and maintain contact and exchange of energy between artists and colleagues. Text and value amounts (numbers in a sequence of making) are printed on the surface of reused fabric, then shared with people for an exchange of feedback on the future life of the cloth.
During a residency at Lottozero in 2023 Sarah CrowEST made a special edition on heavy, antique linen, sourced from Prato charity shops. The artists exercised a light touch through multiple processes (sublimation, foil and screen printing, digital embroidery and labelling), allowing the qualities of the linen and signs of time to remain visible.
The series is available on the Lottozero online store and on LON Gallery, Melbourne, Australia.
British-born, Melbourne based artist Sarah crowEST works across discipline boundaries of contemporary art, social practice and textile craft. Her recent output occupies a conceptual space between painting, working apparel and the graphic qualities of text. CrowEST takes a critical interest in the provenance and value we place on objects, the processes and materials they are made of and their use and reuse.
