An exhibition of the narrative works of San Antonio artist Sarah Fox opens Friday, Dec. 5 at the Laredo Center for the Arts.
Entitled Woman Under the Water & Other Stories, the exhibit depicts stories of life, loss, sex and love carried by archetypal beings that subvert and challenge normative notions of femininity. Fox’s imagery draws from folklore, religion, film, pop culture, erotic art, and literature to reveal feminist counter-narratives.
Sarah Fox was raised in Houston and currently resides and works in San Antonio. She teaches at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. She earned a BA from Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, where she studied studio art and feminist theory, and an MFA from the University of Texas-San Antonio.
Fox’s work has been shown throughout Texas, as well as in the Kinsey Institute (Bloomington, Indiana), Field Projects Gallery (New York, New York), Espacio Dörffi (Lanzarote, Canary Islands), Casa Lu (Mexico City), and Darmstädter Sezession, (Darmstadt, Germany). She has participated in artist residencies throughout the U.S. including The Vermont Studio Center, The Women’s Studio Workshop, Wassiac Projects, and residencies abroad at Casa Lu in Mexico City, Residencia Nautilus in the Canary Islands, Atelierhaus Hilmsen in Hilmsen, Germany, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. She received an Individual Artist Grant from the City of San Antonio in 2021.
