I'm Sarah Lacey, an Ohio native and photographer/mixed media artist! The name SpillProofLiquid comes from my initials (SPL) and was born out of my childhood imagination. My stylistically repetitive hand work focuses on a drippy, slimy pattern in various color palettes. I typically create 3 to 4 color designs with graphic linework and flat colors. I am inspired by Japanese anime and style, psychedelic 70's styles including shag carpeting, psychedelic designs and themes and concert posters, especially rock concerts. I focus on craft-type art and handmade methods including sewing, DIY clothing/style/aesthetic, latchhook rugs, etc.
Process and Materials
I use a variety of processes to create my work, most of which are hands-on and meticulous. I make as much of my products by hand as I can. My main acyrlic sheet supplier is Houston Acrylic. All of my acrylic goods are lasercut by Houston Acrylic or community members. I bend the sterling silver wire for all of my earring hooks by hand. My wooden coasters and earrings are also lasercut then stained by hand. My candles are hand poured soy wax in small frangrance blend batches into upcycled containers. My plushies are made with love and a sewing machine using upcycled fabrics and buttons. My shirts are hand screenprinted with fabric ink. I cut the yarn and map out my rug designs by hand as well as individually latching each string and coating the back in paintable rubber. Stickers are designed by me and printed by Sticker Orchard.
