Like Water Under the Bridge

In this exhibition Sarah Feinmann investigated Ordsall Dyeworks. In Like Water Under the Bridge she focuses on Woden’s footbridge over the Irwell, all that remains from the regeneration of the area, former site of Ordsall Dyeworks. She prints with natural inks and dyes, on paper and collaged mixed media surfaces.

Through the Looking Glass
World of Glass, St Helens

Looking Glass House
Empty windows and their reflections often feature in Sarah’s practice. These works are based on a series of grainy photographs, taken at night looking into a house. Each window becomes a looking glass, reflecting back the outside world, a mix of shadows, landscape and the inside space. These pieces become further fragmented alluding to the way that events happens repeatedly in Alice’s looking glass world.

You Don't Need To Sign For It
Reflecting online shopping during Covid Lockdowns and the effect on the high street.
As my work involves reusing, recycling and repurposing, my piece involved printing from the used parcel packaging, complete with a variety of labels which disintegrated as I printed.

My obstruction was Do not use the wall for support, but instead, let the artwork ‘stand up for itself.’
In “Presence and Absence” the sense of memory and history permeates the materials showing the passage of time. By exploring the negative impressions pressed in and cut out. An architectural framework of semi- enclosed spaces juxtaposes the cut out and pressed in surfaces. This sculpture reflects the domestic nature of my work and is made up from various household items.

Landmarks

The Art of Volunteering.
The Whitworth Collection Centre, Manchester
As Whitworth Volunteers, we were asked to choose work from the Whitworth for The Art of Volunteering exhibition in the Collection Centre. I selected Barbara Rae's "Beach Gleaming" for her vivid colour, use of collage and ambiguous landscape. Alongside I showed Viaduct, which was based on two trains, one rust coloured and one turquoise travelling in opposite directions, glimpsed on the way to my studio.
