“Star Trauth is an award-winning artist and writer. She received her degree in Fine Art(Mt St Joseph University, Ohio, USA) and continues to study related to her field.
It did not please Trauth to recreate the created.
She states, “The purpose of my art is to reconnect me to my experiential roots and set them free in the work.”
All material is recycled so Trauth is not the first to touch it, it passed through many hands before she gathers it together as new media and constructs it into her art. Trauth says, “I think this is why those who gaze thoughtfully into the pieces comment they want to touch or even taste the pieces, they are reaching back to those who were there before. We are sharing an experience, a history.”
Her practice seeks to attract the audience visually with a desire for tactile engagement. She’s sought to create new art mediums with environmentalism in mind, using waste paper and plastic, and converting it to a flat pliable textile. Star hand molds and flame sculpts each piece, miniature original works in their own right, then melds them as free-standing sculpture, assemblage, or wall hanging. Though she has created her own medium Trauth will use other forms of traditional media to achieve her vision. Her work is heavily inspired by music, experiences from her adventurous life, and currently a fierce battle with cancer. This has also led her to dabble in new media while she regains her strength.
Star has been curated into over 100 exhibitions, including 22 museums in the last 8 years.”
“Star Trauth is a an experimental artist whose work spreads across many mediums however , she has a fondness for the fiber mediumthat 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.”
