Her paintings are flat, stripped of all perspective or realism, surfaces hazy and meandering like an old tale retold a thousand times. Patterned compositions are reminiscent of old tapestries.

Blue / Orange Gloss Vessel Large
Hand thrown & turned ceramic
20h x 25.5w cm
£795
Sara’s exploration into ceramics, colour theory and spatial perception began with a MA at Cardiff in 2003, with ideas developing further through her PhD study in 2006. Sara looks at the ways in which spaces within landscape appear altered depending on the ever-changing colours of season, weather, time and farming. Bowls act as a canvas for paintings, using illusory spatial colour phenomena to suggest specific landscape scenes.

Showing at Chelsea Craft Fair in 1987 was pivotal, providing opportunities in Europe, USA, Japan and Scandinavia. 'I don’t draw to make, I draw to investigate. Through interacting with materials, the thought becomes physical and some of these I develop into pieces. The jewellery is now fairly free standing and builds upon itself, ideas voicing themselves while my hands are making. Ideas and materials are there to be stretched, simple methods relying on form and feel.'
