Sarah Zanchetta
Toronto, ON
Booth I-09
Installation
Sarah Zanchetta (she/they) is a queer textile artist and educator. Her practice dives into their loss of connection and knowledge of poisonous plants that grow in North America. She seeks to foster a relationship with flora without placing the weight of human benefit in the foreground, questioning what it means to seek out a form of kinship and care with the poisonous. Zanchetta's works simultaneously track the development of her hands-on relationship with an individual plant and the unravelling of stories, scientific facts, and myths surrounding them. She uses textiles, texts, and hosts community workshops to create intimate works and spaces where we can unfold our curiosities, care and anxieties about what grows beside our feet.
