Sarah Hall Baqai
Sarah started working with willow having been inspired by the magic of lantern festivals. Light is incorporated into sculptural forms which she combines with her skills in papier mache and collage in different themes.
Sarah works from her studio in York producing 2D and 3D works in papier mache, collage, cut-outs and painted forms inspired by subjects and characters from folk art and folk tales, world travel and the peculiarities of everyday life, observations and nature.
