Reghan Sage is a papermaker, weaver, and printmaker located in the twin cities. She received her BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 2025. Her work is centralized around displacement, memory, belonging, and relationships to the land and family. Her practice has a high material focus. She often produces work by starting with the bare minimum, manipulating and building materials to form textures and structures that reflect experimental textile, paper, and printmaking techniques.
Recently Sage has been exploring the fence motif. Originally from a deeply personal lens, however she realized that working with this motif expanded her ideas around making art. She noticed that by interrogating questions surrounding personal displacement and boundaries through the object, she is also exploring themes of suburbia, societal standards and structures for family life, control of land and people, access, class, and more. She is interested in taking the motif and translating it into a state of fragility, through a material focus, as a means of holding.
Sage has exhibited work in many spaces including MCAD, Squirrel Haus Arts, and Northrup King Building. She was Blu Dot’s guest artist during Art-a-Whirl in 2023. Sage was also awarded the MCBA Collegiate Fellowship in the spring of 2025. She was also a barista for nearly 9 years, which has allowed her artwork to be published in Coffee People Zine volumes 19 and 20, as well as Hey, Barista Magazine.
