Project summary:

Sarah is a Gloucestershire based designer maker who specialises in contemporary warm glass. She is continually experimenting with glass and new techniques in order to push the boundaries within the glass field and explore alternative methods to produce an effect within glass.


Sarah’s work evolves from photographs and drawings produced whilst out and about, mainly in London. Everyday people and their actions whilst interacting with their urban environment and others nearby have been a real inspiration.  The ‘ignored’ people are especially of great interest to her whilst they are going about their business in the background whilst she tries to understand what they are achieving, where they are going and what they are doing: shopping, fulfilling their jobs, and carrying on with life whilst ignoring unusual happenings around them.


From the observations she makes, Sarah creates line drawings and tries to piece together stories within the drawings and photographs she has, as well as finding many similarities, for example, finding people seen earlier in the day elsewhere on her travels. These all lead her to start combining images together to create scenes or combine multiple images into one collection. To Sarah, the line drawings remove the identities of the people and allow the viewer to use their imagination to fill the spaces within the drawings.
