Sarah Tew (b. 1987) was brought up in the Cumbrian Lake District, Northwest England. She now lives and works in London since graduating from Slade School of Fine Art, MFA Fine Art in 2019. Her practice incorporates painting, installation, and site-responsive work. With interests that lie within the physical interactions of materials and their inheritance of cultural and historical contexts in relation to landscape. She questions the language and values of visual imagery in relation to the physical realm. The work looks out to a broader questioning of the fragilities and endurances of nature. Landscape is a term which she continues to unpick. Walking in the footsteps of artists before her as a research tool; the idea, experience and history of site/sight is unearthed.
