Sarah Cathers

Mixed Media

Sarah Cathers is a mixed media artist from County Down. Since graduating in 2018, she has exhibited her work across the UK and Ireland. Driven by the process of fragmentation, Sarah approaches her practice as a modern day archaeologist.

Bio

Sarah describes herself as ‘a naturally curious collector with an urge to record and preserve the forgotten. Fascinated by adhesives and their ability to secure and fasten materials together, I focus on the binding capabilities of thread, using fibres to conceal and repair. I aim to preserve an objects history, acknowledging the past while recognising the potential to be something other than the original purpose.

I collect discarded objects, mending and combining materials to assemble small sculptures, juxtaposing the unlikely to create a tangible record of the environment and people. I curate objects of curiosity in ‘families’ based on an instinctive response or relationship between materials.’

Address

Sarah works out of her home studio in County Down, Northern Ireland.

 

She currently does not take appointments to visit her studio.
