We’re ecstatic to announce a Future Frontier Fellow, Sarah Baugh!!!!

Sarah graduated from Portland State University where she focused on graphic design. Sarah lives in Portland, Oregon. She regularly collaborates with past Frontier Fellow, Nicole Lavelle, and one of favorite visitors ever, Justin Flood. Check out our favorite collaboration between Sarah, Nicole, and Justin called North South Portland.

Sarah currently works with Wieden + Kennedy and Wilder Quarterly. Recently, Sarah collaborated with Nicole Lavelle on the identity design for the upcoming Open Engagement conference. Open Engagement is an international conference that sets out to explore various perspectives on art and social practice and expand the dialogue around socially engaged art making.

Most of her work is rooted in context and place, so Green River will truly be a creative paradise for Sarah. On Turkey: the land of figs, cats, hazelnuts, olives, pomegranates, honey, ayran, turquoise water, pine trees, chickens, boats, buses, dust, headscarves, greenhouses, cigarette smoke, sunflower seeds, glasses of çay, the static of the adhān blaring from loudspeakers and echoing through valleys, crumbling stone, hairpin turns, Atatürk, piles of cat food on the street, yogurt containers filled with water, sun, and identical loaves of bread.

Sarah will join us in July, and will stay in Green River for one month as a Fellow making beautiful artifacts and enjoying summer in Utah. View more of Sarah’s work on her website.

Apply for the Frontier Fellowship (suggested date of February 29th to be considered for 2012).
