'Doorknobs' entrance artwork, 2009

'Doorknobs' entrance artwork, 2009

details about this work


Sarah Sabin is based in Colchester, Eastern


Digging about under the surface of places, I gather histories, dissect, and reassemble them. Processes used in Archaeology inform my work.

I use a range of media to create objects and installations. These are underpinned by collage, drawing and photography.

Hidden narratives from places and people also develop permanently sited artworks, projects with public participation, and collaborations.
