Interdisciplinary artwork, including installation & print
We are excited to host eclectic multimedia performances at the Santa Fe County Fairgrounds! Performance schedules below.
All performance events are free with CURRENTS Festival admission tickets. Please note, Sandbox Music is a partner event with and located at Jean Cocteau Cinema with $15 tickets (limited seating).
I am looking for an art assistant in Santa Fe, especially a teenager who would like to make a little $ this summer.
Pay: $15 an hour, probably 1-2 days a week but I’m flexible.
Location: Private studio on the southside.
Requirements: Preferably someone who is interested in art and has a reliable mode of transportation. We are also a kid and dog-friendly space.
Basically I need some help doing things that are a little hard for me physically, but shouldn’t be too difficult for someone else. Light dusting, moving boxes, prepping fabric for dyeing. I’m also more than happy to include free art lessons! We have the facilities to do printmaking, photography, woodcarving, marbling, dyeing, sewing/embroidery/yarn etc, Cricut, and 3D printing (starting in July). I’m probably missing something, so ask if there’s something specific you’d like to know about!
If their parents sign a waiver, they can also have supervised access to our woodshop and metalshop. My husband loves to teach welding! He also trained as a blacksmith.
We would need to do an interview first to make sure everyone gets along! Hoping to find a good fit. I will also be extra slammed during the CURRENTS festival, which runs from the 16th-25th, so may not be able to start until after that.
If you’re interested, please e-mail me at ws.isabel@yahoo.com

I have work in 3 upcoming shows this June: in Brooklyn, LA, and Providence. Stay tuned for more info! 🎨
My mom and I have a piece in the Lenscratch: MOTHER show, and there is a ton of really lovely, strong work!
Maternal Mitochondria’s project “Original Face: In the Water” is a part of the 19th Edition of the Pollux Awards, which will be followed by a show at FotoNostrum’s gallery in December of 2023. All of the winners in various categories can be found here. Look for us in Non-Professional: Nude and Figure!
“Original Face” is a long-term photography project documenting the female members of my family and placing them in collaged environments which speak to the sublime, the doors of life and death opening and closing, and the perspective of the hidden v the seen. When the male gaze is removed, what is left? Is this the female gaze, the gaze of the self-portrait? Who is the subject and who is the object. What does it mean to have a self, a no self, an existential void within an embodied subject.
This project was made in collaboration with my mother, the poet Miriam Sagan. We work together as “Maternal Mitochondria,” handing the camera back and forth, writing back and forth. Therefore the patriarchal hierarchy of artistic endeavor is broken, and the matrilineal line is strengthened. This is how we see ourselves and each other. This is how we see.
I will be in an upcoming show at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago! The 24th International Open runs from March 18th-April 22nd, and all of the work can be viewed online as well. Please contact the gallery for sale inquires.
I was surprised and very excited to receive “Best in Show” at this years Members’ Show with Foto Forum. It’s nice to know that my tired mom art was seen and appreciated by other tired parents!
For those who don’t know, Foto Forum Santa Fe is an amazing non-profit photography space in Santa Fe. They have all the equipment you need to do alternative processes and work in a darkroom! It also happens to be down the street from where I grew up.
And since personally I always want to know how a photograph was made- this was taken and mostly edited on an android phone.
“The Way Out”, 2022, Isabel Winson-Sagan
