Sarah is a visual artist who uses traditional metalsmithing and fine casting techniques to create intricate metal sculptures from flower parts using recycled metals.
Her works highlight the contradictory fragility and resilience of threatened native flora, the colonising behaviour of ‘ownership’ versus ‘custodianship’ and the modern dilemma of ‘belonging’.
