ABOUT
Sarah Pager lives and works. Her sculptural practice spans a range of superpowers including welding, casting and electronics which she deploys to explore a co-dependant relationship with matter. Often referencing the body, in a society where material objects offer redemption by proxy, her sculpture is sited in an area where desire touches on obscenity.
A 2014 graduate of Goldsmiths, Pager has spent the last year on a residency at Florence Trust she has a solo show scheduled at Transformer Gallery, in Brussels in autumn 2016.
