Sarah Knill-Jones

" My practice incorporates performance, photography, print making, video and collaborative experiments, but the core remains centred in, on and around paint, as a visceral, human response to the world we live in. I often draw inspiration from literature, and consider my works as experiments which hover between the intangible and the concrete. The inherent connection between the very substance of paint itself and the body is the foundation of my practice. "
