Paper, PLA, and Stainless Steel

Sara Lindsay is an emerging Hobart-based artist, designer, and object maker with a focus on collaborative making and digital fabrication. Working through the synthesis of material and process her work reveals analogies between the natural world and material culture.  Making is at the core of her practice, whether it be making with her hands, the computer, or making tools to make with her hands or the computer.  Obsessed with learning how to make, and pushing the boundaries of the ways we make, Sara is constantly adding new skills to her repertoire, her current obsession is building another 3D printer to print with clay. 

Her work has been shortlisted for the Clarence Prize for Excellence in Furniture Design (2017 and again 2021) and the Hobart City Council Design Award (2016), selected for exhibitions including Vivid and Emerging Contemporaries at Craft ACT in 2016. Sara won best emerging artist at Artfully Queer in 2017 and the 3D Design award in 2019. She received the Jim Bacon Memorial Scholarship and the Jonathan Holmes Scholarship, both from UTAS, in 2015. Sara graduated from the School of Creative Arts and Media UTAS, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (First class Honours) in 2015 and holds a Bachelor of Social Science from Edith Cowan University.
