Sarah Rooms-heaphy

Texture, markmaking, muted colour combined with the coastal landscape are the identity behind my sculptural ceramics. The work explores an emotional response to inter-tidal beachscapes, layering of molusc shells, curved forms of pebbles worn by the sea, textures of rocky landscapes as well as investigating nature’s power; waves, sounds, marks of nature, fragility, coastal erosion, tidal & wave patterns & their impact on coastal life. I develop ideas whilst playing with small testers,collect treasures from the coast, stones, rocks, fossils, shells, and multiple photographs. They all inform my work, acting as nostagalic reminders.
