Sarah Maple is known for her bold, witty, and occasionally controversial practice. She works in a wide variety of media (including painting, photography, sculpture, collage, and video) that challenge notions of identity, religion, feminism, violence, freedom of expression and the status quo. Much of Sarah’s inspiration originates from her mixed religious and cultural upbringing and she often employs self-portraiture, alongside her guerrilla-style performances, as a vehicle for her narrative.
Her recent practice has focused on the disturbing parallels between the political climate in the US and the UK looking at themes of fear, division, toxic masculinity, and xenophobia.
Sarah Maple graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Kingston University, London, in 2007. Recent solo exhibitions were held at: The Untitled Space, New York (2019); New Art Exchange, Nottingham (2017); The Cob Gallery, London (2015).
Sarah Maple’s participation is supported by New Art Exchange, Nottingham.
