Sarah Mihara Creagen

Inspired by dirty pulp magazines, The Sisters’ Fart Corner depict Sarah and her younger sister expelling a rebellious, colorful smog of flatulence. These farts, unlike the battles depicted in Edo period Japanese prints, signal more of a team effort. A thought bubble, a cloud, a loud bodily yell enacted between sisters that live with bowl and intestinal syndromes and diseases.

Born in Nova Scotia, Sarah Mihara Creagen is an artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Creagen received her MFA from Hunter College in 2018. Creagen’s practice come out of personal experiences with Pap smears, speculums, and sexual encounters wearing her knee braces. The content is filtered through her identity as a queer, cis-woman with mixed-race Japanese heritage.

Creagen’s work infuses agency into erotic images of women and creates opportunities for conversation around sexual health and consent, in the doctor’s office and in the bedroom. She begrudgingly admits to being infatuated with flatulence, and is currently working on a comic about her and her sister.
