Sarah Long is an artist based in Cork. Her work focuses on suppressed female archetypes, the politics of representation, nationhood, and myth through the lens of feminism.  Long’s first novella, W/w, was published by Bloomers in 2024. Her painting installation Seven Ways To Get Back was selected for Periodical Review 14 at Pallas Projects/Studios in 2024-25 and was informed by elements of the art writing that led to W/w. She also presented live, multimedia iterations of W/w at Backwater Artists Group, Cork City; CCA Theatre, Glasgow; and Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh, Cork.

Recent solo shows include SO Fine Art Editions, Dublin (2025); South Tipperary Arts Centre, Clonmel (2025); St Luke’s Crypt, Cork (2023).
