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 exhibits both nationally and internationally, selected for both the Royal Society of Sculptors summer show and Wells Arts Contemporary Installation this year (2024) she is currently on the practice based Doctoral Programme at Chelsea, UAL.
