Sarah Mander is an artist printmaker. Graduating with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art Printmaking from Wimbledon School of Art she co-founded Red Hot Press Print Workshop in Southampton England in 2004. She continues to run the workshop and teach Printmaking. She is also a visiting tutor at West Dean College in West Sussex.
Sarah exhibits widely in the UK and abroad. She has work in private and public collections in the United Kingdom, Denmark, China, Latvia and Australia
Sarah takes her inspiration from man-made objects and industrial and technological heritage. Her work can be abstract dealing with concepts of technology. It can also focus in on objects, particularly tools of the trade, parts of aircraft or spacecraft or early computers that were at the cutting edge of technology or on the cusp of change. These objects tell a story and she wants to celebrate these objects and concepts.
Sarah is excited by colour and plays with combinations of colours. She uses Etching, Drypoint and Collagraph techniques. These methods involve the erosion of metal and degradation of cardboard substrates, echoing the effects of time and use on her chosen subject matter.
