Biography
As a multidisciplinary artist Sara explores the fragility of human connections and the passage of time.
Sara explores her heritage through object, story and historical research. She retells glimpses of a familial trail which recalls the past as she investigates memory, the fragility of human connections and the passage of time.
Personal belongings and documents become the vehicle for content. Sara uses hand-based printing techniques such as monoprint and paper lithography, together with layers of ink and acrylic paint, graphite and charcoal drawings. She works intuitively with the imagery of personal letters, family stories, photographs and handed-down paraphernalia to create delicate and intriguing works.
The results are physical representations of what is remembered, what is held, lost, transformed and marked within.
