Sara Torgison is our new Communications and Members Liaison. Sara received a BFA from Cal Poly Humboldt in 2011 and an MFA from the University of Cincinnati Department of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning in 2021. Her work often blends ceramics with fiber art, extending finite and fragile surfaces to emphasize and inhabit marginal spaces. Strange alliances formed in passages between hard and soft substances are resonant of the shifts inherent in navigating public and private life, and the distance between self and other. Sara is currently Visiting Ceramics Faculty at Miami University in Oxford, OH and works as a preparator at the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center.
