When Sarah Purvey works in her studio it is a quiet space without the disturbance or external influence of background music or voices on the radio. She uses the time to listen, to feel and to respond to the liminal connections discovered there. The process allows the language and the rhythm of drawing to intuitively speak for her, resulting in a visceral and introspective experience shared through the responsive energy and action of drawing.

Before becoming Artist in Residence at Bath Spa University Corsham Court in 2020, Sarah's practice was primarily in ceramic using monumental sculptural vessels as her carrier. Her practice now is more evenly divided between two- and three-dimensional form, with drawing being the unifying factor between both mediums.

"There
is a raw power to the work of Sarah Purvey; a directness. Her ceramic
vessels and paintings on canvas or paper are not separate elements that
are 'worked on' intellectually; rather, they are immediate expressions
of her perceptions and feelings in a moment. In the same way that the
wall of a vessel creates both an interior and exterior space, so her
work represents a meeting point between the exterior perspective of the
spectator and the interior emotions of the artist. She and her work are
thus totally conjoined: each piece stands as a diary of unfiltered
feelings, produced through a stream of consciousness."


Ashley Thorpe,Forms of Expression- Published by the Crowood Press 2023: Excerpt from Chapter 17
