Sarah Davenport, 2006

Born 1968, England
Lives and works in London

Trained at the University of Leeds, UK
Fine Art BA (first) 1990, Sculpture Studies MA (distinction) 1991

Makes scratchy oil paintings and highly worked drawings,
digital and polaroid photoworks, and occasional objects

Inspired by all sorts of stuff,including:
built environment;
furniture, landscape and garden history; material culture;
collective and personal memory; language; TV news and
current affairs; machines and
industrial architecture;
domestic utensils; street furniture.
I am especially drawn
to the surfaces of worn, scratched manmade objects.

I am interested in working with architects/designers and curators
and happy to discuss working to commission
