Sarah Harley
I use a range of media to create art works, installations and participatory art projects which explore and investigate different aspects of human society and culture.
I am currently developing a collaborative art/science project exploring neuroscience and consciousness (see project section).
My project exploring WW2 history and ordinary contemporary life in Norfolk, The Hut is described in detail in The Hut Project Blog.
CURRENT PRACTICE
With specialisms in print and textiles I use a range of media to create art works, installations and participatory art projects which explore and investigate different aspects of society and culture. I practice from my studio in Norfolk and deliver art projects in collaboration with museums and organisations in a range of locations.
