About the Artist
Dr Sarah Fortais is a Canadian artist and researcher interested in bricolage: disassembling, repurposing, and modifying existing objects or ideas to generate new understanding. Fortais received a PhD in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art (2018), where she built spacesuits for animals, borrowed NASA moon rocks, produced the first graphic representation of every animal that has left Earth’s atmosphere, and created strategies to observe and define what it means to call a person or thing ‘cool’. In addition to her residency at the Centre for Outer Space Studies at UCL she is currently the Specialist Casting Technician at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
