Sarah Yates
Sarah’s work unfolds through a constellation of drawings, paintings, writings and collages, all jumping freely between different themes and ideas. She often explores the magical and the mysterious: forests, trees, princes and princesses, fantastical animals and imagined worlds. She often combines fragments of drawings, painted surfaces, writing and tracing paper, creating layered compositions in which one image or idea remains partially visible beneath another. This layering gives things a dreamlike quality, as though glimpses of hidden worlds and depths are gradually being revealed. The colour blue, her favourite, is often present, unifying the mood.
Sarah approaches her work with a playful, mischievous, giggly energy and a vivid sense of imagination.
