She has explored local history through the built environment, and recently her work has shifted toward understanding domestic labor in the Midwest during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By connecting textiles with labor history and urban studies, Dawson brings stories out of archival storage and into public conversation. She is drawn to analog approaches to technology and explores making that typifies historic domestic labor: banner-making, needlepoint, open-work, patterning, and stitching. In her prints, digital tools blend with traditional media to embrace a distinct, handmade mark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sage Dawson is an artist and curator, and she teaches at the Sam Fox School at Washington University in St. Louis.
