Sarah’s practice is deeply rooted in the exploration and transformation of discarded materials.
She seeks to challenge the conventional boundaries of ceramic artistry by integrating wasted materials, colour and texture that would otherwise be relegated to landfill.
Her work is an inquiry into the potential of these materials, incorporated across four distinct firing methods: raku, raku saggar, electric saggar, and electric.
She is open to working with you on commissions or collaborations. Please reach out using the link below.
Interior Installations
The launch of Burnt Hues is steered towards working on larger projects with interior designers, architects and developers to deliver integrated artworks with unique stories behind them.
Clay is the most malleable material to work with, I’m yet to feel limited from its possibilities. Incorporating wasted materials is at the heart of Burnt Hues:
sourcing wasted materials to use as combustibles across multiple ceramic firing methods: key filings / oyster shells / packaging materials / factory floor off-cuts.
bringing communities together to provide wasted materials to repurpose into artwork.
using clay extracted from a ground-up construction site as a canvas for the work.
Burnt Hues: Artefacts
The installation, Burnt Hues: Artefacts, serves as both an exhibit and an experiment, showcasing 300 individual pieces that encapsulate Sarah’s findings. Each artefact stands as a testament to the alchemy of clay and waste, with the hues smoked into the vitrified surface through a dynamic interplay of fire and material.
The reverse of each piece is marked with a unique cuneiform code, an ancient symbolic representation of the technical journey it has undergone, serving as her maker's mark and technical signature.
