Biography
Originally from Melbourne, Australia Sarah is a photomedia artist concentrating in alternate and antique process, 'plastic' photography, and image re-appropriation. Currently her practice is informed by reconstructed historical environments; drawing on the disjuncture between their function as a tourist trap and museum, and 'dead' uninhabited space.
With several years commercial photographic experience - enhanced by working for the top photographic lab in Australia - she also specialises in shooting live and music performance. Most recently Sarah shot Mercury prize winner Speech Dabelle performing at Trouble Tune at the Southbank Centre. Sarah also has a background in Art History and critical theory, with interests concerning aesthetic theory in relation to the role and function of ugliness in art, and representations of the Renaissance body.
