In a social climate obsessed with modernity, and the recent politicization of climate change in the United States, the fiber works by Sarah Swift explore humanity's growing dissociation from the natural world, and our fundamental responsibility to combat the damaging impact we are having on our planet. She utilizes raw and recycled materials locally sourced from community donations, secondhand stores, fair-trade co-operatives, or deadstock fibers from the fashion industry; (with “Fast Fashion” currently contributing to some of the highest volumes of waste on the planet.) She incorporates many ecological "problem" materials like plastic bags, drinking straws, metal can tabs, fruit netting, plastic wrap, acrylic and plastic based yarns, and hand dyed fabrics like old bed sheets or clothing that have been heavily used and cannot be donated.
