By way of reflection on the endeavour and frustrations of nurture, Sarah is tatting bespoke jackets for every stone on Highcliffe Beach. In a co-mentoring relationship with artist Alys Scott-Hawkins, Sarah is developing a body of work over an extended period, in tandem with other investigative works relating to mothering two teenage boys.
Ongoing is the ‘blue jumper’ – a self-initiated, community knitting work involving over one thousand people knitting onto the same piece, which invites consideration of community, recovery, connection and inclusion, and the boundaries (imagined, imposed or otherwise) between art and craft.
Sarah is collaborating with poet Angela Louise Chicken, on visual presentations of poetry through book works and videopoetry. This work is underpinned by research into current tropes in moving image, investigated via the lux critical forum.
‘Playback’ is a joint project with other members of the fine art team – the first element of the project, realised in July 2013, is a group exhibition, with a publication and dialogue opportunities to follow: ‘playback’ will act in part as an arena for discussion about fine art education and our place within it, drawing attention to the diversity of disciplines practiced by the team, and the variety of ways in which such work intersects with wider contemporary practice.
