About

Sarah is an artist and researcher whose practice includes printmaking and hand stitching.

She also leads community embroidery workshops.

Sarah’s work is concerned with the embodiment of women’s identities and memories in their creative work. She takes inspiration from work with women in the community, many of whom have experienced trauma in their lives, and from her interest in historical examples of women’s creative expressions of identity. Sarah feels that printmaking is a natural medium for capturing hidden stories and communicating these to a wider audience.

Sarah’s latest body of work comprises a multi-modal interpretation of an early modern sampler, experimenting with what can be revealed through re-creation and manipulating of original text.

Since September 2021 Sarah has been developing her practice through a PhD programme with Coventry University's Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities.
