At the top of a pyramid balances a precarious figure with a money bag in hand. He is held up by a triangle of workers. To either side of the pyramid are images of contradiction- Manifest destiny and the right to own land pushes out Native Americans. The Boston Tea party is immortalized, while the actions of a protestor from Ferguson are interpreted depending on the viewer. Throughout this collage are symbols of American freedom, liberty, founding, they are repeated in an attempt to tug out their meaning. This collage examines the differences and inconsistencies between American ideals and the nature of actual human rights in the U.S. This work is a part of a series I made titled "hidden White Norms". This group of collaged based works identify and illustrate unspoken white cultural values in the U.S. through the rendering or appropriation of accumulated found and iconic images.

My art centers engagement with social change through the sharing of stories in community spaces. I make work about subcultures, outsiders, and the informal configurations of community. I examine identity through illustrating stories that are intimate and comment on larger social issues. Primarily I work with paint, but I additionally construct animated films made from my artwork, using stop motion animation techniques. Raised in Kirkwood, Missouri, Sarah Paulsen is an artist, filmmaker and community organizer whose artwork has been exhibited widely in local and national exhibitions, and whose prize-winning films have been featured in the St. Louis International Film Festival, the True/False Film Festival, the Black Maria Film Festival, the Motivate Film Festival and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, among many others. She was a 2018 Great Rivers Biennial Winner culminating in an exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis. A 2010 C.A.T. Institute fellow and 2015 Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellow, she has garnered numerous awards for her work and also completed several residencies – including the Cite Internationale des Arts, Paris. A dedicated advocate for social change, a key aspect of Paulsen’s practice has always involved the orchestration of large-scale community projects, such as participatory public murals, thematic round-table discussions and the now-annual People’s Joy Parade on Cherokee Street. Paulsen holds a B.A. in visual art from the University of Missouri, Columbia and an M.F.A. from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University. She lives and works in St. Louis, where she teaches art and animation at Marian Middle School and local colleges.
