Sarah Maria Schmidt / Haras (Ananas)
born 1994, lives and works in Linz, Austria.
Haras‘ works emerge from daily observations regarding human interactions in urban landscapes. Situations, where different environments collide, are quickly captured in her sketchbook. Later these drawings are turned into a new construct which could be a painting, comic, animation, print, tattoo, installation or else. Her subjective view of the world is thereby mirrored in lines and shapes, narrative and composition.
Haras is a founding member of the collective Potato Publishing, which runs an open (riso)print studio, maintains a zine library, hosts residencies, organizes selfpublishing events and workshops.
