Sarah Staton works across scale and material palettes, using materials' affective dimension – their ability to trigger associations and psychological responses – to supplement the modernist coupling of form and function with a third term, feeling – an important but elusive texture for creating objects, sculpture, public art and urban design. Through 'threshold sculptures' which are simultaneously formal and functional, aesthetic and utilitarian, her off modern practice questions how design and the specific haptic properties of materials can dynamise site and experience. Beginning with model making, employed as a 3D drawing method, Sarah Staton creates sculptures for a variety of contexts including the public realm. Through allusions to utilitarianism, and an exploratory use of synthetic and natural materials, she creates spaces and objects that are marked by their socio-economic reality, seeking a modest purpose - to enable revelry and reverie.
