Sarah Bridgland

SarahBridglandThese miniature paper creations are the works of UK-based artist, Sarah Bridgland.  The sculptures/collages are created with second hand ephemera and fragments of her own printed media. Each piece has an array of textures, shapes and lettering reflective of her interest in printed ephemera, typography, pop-up books and Russian constructivism. In an interview on Creative Bus Stop blog she shares this artistic advice:

“If you’re in a creative rut, never wait for inspiration to happen, work through it. Good things come through the process of making, so even if you’re not quite sure what you’re doing, keep going with it.”

The pages are composed of fabric collages and embroidery of linen hand towels from the artist’s wedding trousseau. The French artist and creator of the book, Louise Bourgeoise (1911-2010), used art as a form of purification and as she puts it, “Art is a guarantee of sanity.”
