BIOGRAPHY
Sarah Strachan (b. 1974 Andover, UK) is a transdisciplinary printmaker, painter and ceramicist based in Cambridge (UK), where she completed an MA in Fine Art in 2022 following a career pivot to focus on her practice in 2017. Her works, which often incorporate sound or moving-image, centre on environmental changes. Installations like Dawn
or her recent solo show – Resonance Vessels - are sparked by deep conversations with people, place, the land and its materials. Collaboration is an important element of her practice whether as an independent artist, creative tutor, working as artist duo Anxiety of Interdisciplinarity or as art, geology and sound collaborative Mud Collective. Selected
as one of the top 25 emerging artists in the UK at the British Ceramic Biennial, Stoke-on-Trent (2021), Sarah is an award winning artist in ceramics (ArtNumber23 Open Contest, Greece (2020)), sculpture (Art Resilience, France (2022)), installation (Aesthetica Art Prize 2023 and 2024) and sustainability (Sustainability Art Prize, UK 2021 and 2022).
