SHEFFIELD-based Sarah Staton has an exhibition of her intriguing work at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
She is a woman fascinated by construction processes and her show includes stacked and slotted sculpture and pieces made using old and new commercial technologies.
Staton was awarded a two-year Henry Moore Fellowship at Sheffield Hallam University in 2002 and this year was the joint winner of The Arts Foundation prize for sculpture in wood.
Drawings and watercolours in the show at West Bretton reveal the starting point and process of her work.
The artist has also created a site-specific outdoor work for the sculpture park, a space that can be entered, with windows and vistas which she describes as playing on and emphasising notions of the picturesque.
Wooden ‘topiary’ sculptures, which she has developed from sketches of informal topiary made by roadside gardeners in Brazil, will be shown in the open air.
Staton’s exhibition is on until October 28.
