“I capture the vitality and memory of sound and movement in metal and on paper.”

Sarah Warsop

Process

Using a dynamic drawing process, she captures the essence of the movement and sound onto paper, and from these drawings and paintings she forges directly into precious metals to maintain a sense of rhythm, direction, speed and flow within the final piece.

Sarah works to hold particular movement and sound qualities within her objects and paintings, arresting time to take a closer look at the intricacies of dance and music, usually so fleeting.
