​
Sarah is a graduate of Wimbledon School of Art, BA Sculpture, 2000 and Birmingham School of Art, BIAD where she completed an MA in Fine Art in 2014.
​
She works with intimate and contemplative making practices; the space of drawing being a consistent focus. Ongoing fascinations with issues of beauty and injury, compassionate touch and witnessing are central to making and research. Her practice extends across sculptural installation, filmmaking, curation and publications.
Early works include a series of nine drawings made during a pregnancy. This early engagement with the poetics of drawing as intimate articulator of a reimagined, self-anatomising body continues.
​​
Sarah delivers large scale group drawing workshops across museum, gallery and outdoor venues and uses integrating drawing practices within 1-1 co-enquiries. Touch methodologies are used within workshop settings and she has studied Guided Drawing practices through the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy. Concepts of ‘Haptic reward’ and bilateral methods of touch sit at the heart of her guidance within large scale drawing workshops, 1-1 online and in person co-enquiries.
​
Recent exhibitions include ‘This Quiet House’ in 2022 completed a period of A-N Bursary funded development and was shown at GO Gallery, Stourbridge. The exhibition included parts of a gifted, discarded piano which had been used to stimulate a return to large scale sculptural practice. Placed in a garden, these objects were observed across the changing seasons of a year, using photographic, written, filmed and drawn observations. The aim, to curate a poetic of repair, recovering relationship with creative voice and artistry and to examine a transformative relationship with aliveness and kinship.
​
A focus on durational works made across time and place continues. A recent residency at The Museum of Loss and Renewal on Orkney (August ’24) stimulated questions of becoming through positioning the self, 'observing and being observed' within a landscape.
​
Sarah is currently based in Stourbridge, UK. She co-curates and develops a programme of films, talks, exhibition and workshop opportunities at General Office Gallery in Stourbridge.
