Becoming VIII, 2022

Sarah Strachan is an emerging artist based in Cambridge, UK. In her transdisciplinary practice she senses environmental changes through conversational drift with people, place, the land and the materials and objects associated with these.

 

Sarah explores her ideas through printmaking, painting, and ceramics and is interested in how perception affects our ecological awareness and thinking. Working with clay (manufactured, recycled or wild) allows her to explore issues of materiality and sustainability. She often fuses sound and/or moving image into final installations of her work as in Objects listening, which was recently exhibited at the British Ceramics, Biennial in Stoke-on-Trent.

 

Her work seeks to disrupt habitual perspectives through the liminality of the objects and spaces she creates. Collaboration is fundamental to her practice as an individual artist, working as artist duo ‘Itiswhatitis’ and as part of art, geology, and sound research collaborative Mud Collective.
