Sarah most recent sculptures have mainly been created to bring joy to the beholder, a companion to raise a smile and a burst of technicolour to their worlds.
When she creates a piece if it doesn't make her smile, she puts it to one side and comes back to it later. They have to speak to her, and interact within the clay environment they created within/on. i.e. Blue Bird Flying over the palm trees, or Foraging in the Garden. It seems odd but her work has become less sea obsessed since she moved to the coast 10 years ago!
The adventures of the Blue Bird have been with Sarah, since a singular Blue Bird made his debute at her degree show in 1991. He featured mainly with sea creatures and sculptures that looked like they had been washed up on a tropical island. The Blue Birds adventures have been all about escapism, and wanting to be that Blue Bird and fly to all of those amazing places. He has even been to the moon!
