Dr Sarah Fortais was selected to be the COSS Artist in Residence in 2022-23
Dr Sarah Fortais is a Canadian artist and researcher interested in bricolage: disassembling, repurposing, and modifying existing objects or ideas to generate new understanding. Fortais received a PhD in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art (2018), where she built spacesuits for animals, borrowed NASA moon rocks, produced the first graphic representation of every animal that has left Earth's atmosphere, and created strategies to observe and define what it means to call a person or thing ‘cool’.
As part of the residency, Sarah designed the Centre’s patch/logo and travelled on the UK’s first Analogue Space Research Mission, Lunga 6.
During her residency Sarah created a range of artworks. Below are a few examples, with links to further information. Read Sarah's full Report of Lunga 6 Analogue Space Research Mission Artworks
