Star Trauth is a an experimental fiber artist that often creates new processes to complete the vision of her pieces. Her art has been in over fifty exhibitions in under five years; including Miami Art Week, Yoko Ono’s Arising, and The Florence Biennale.
Star prefers to work immersed in music to keep the purity of her vision, Trauth is meticulous when it comes to sensory engagement. She will often limit sight, sound, even diet, while engaging her pieces. Each piece is inspired by a personal experience. Her art practice draws on the ideas of abstraction, minimalism, Dadaism, the concept of ikigai, anti-consumerism, and a dedication to legacy.
Star’s art has been described as tribal and innovative, art you want to touch but shouldn’t. Her process melds ancient techniques with signature innovations. She prefers to use vintage, found, and new fibers in unison to form her creations. The inspiration comes from memory. Music purifies it. In music she sees color and original techniques unfurl. Star says, “I am creating my imagination and inviting you on the journey.”
My work explores how much my material can take before it burns to nothing. It starts as waste converted to fiber. I give it life again just to see how far I can stretch it. Literally. I hand mold and fire mold each component. Each one it’s own work of art. I assemble it into mounted or freestanding low relief sculpture. I’m taking waste from man and bending it to my will to give back something interesting and beautiful.
