Course: MA Animation Production

Graduated: 2021

Since graduating in 2021, Sarah has been involved in a variety of diverse projects including the first artist-in-residency scheme at AUB's Innovation Studio, where she explored the potential of interconnecting abstract moving imagery, VR and 3D body scanning to visualise phenomenological experiences in the human mind.

In 2022, Sarah and an animation colleague worked with NHS urological consultants to create an alternative form of a medical explanation video for a prostrate procedure for men who are at risk of cancer. This pilot was shared with a focus group of patients and at a national urological conference, to demonstrate alternative ways of sharing often frightening information to patients.

Sarah has participated in a multidisciplinary project led by American animator Professor Eric Dyer. The Leverhulme-funded project explored the potential of the zoetrope beyond pure novelty. Sarah chose to focus on the health benefits of making a zoetrope, and how her epilepsy and auras might inspire the finished piece. The project concluded with an exhibition and symposium with Professor Dyer now presenting this research internationally.

Sarah has presented her own work nationally and internationally, including the Society of Animation studies, Kings College London European Neurological conference and a UK Rare Disease conference. She continues with her early research into how the moving image can communicate things that are hard to describe with words, with a particular focus on neurological conditions.

Currently Sarah’s practice also includes hosting creative workshops for the wellbeing of neurodiverse groups, disabled adults and those suffering from mental illness. She is a Rare Disease Advocate and part of the NIHR-funded UK Rare Disease Research Network. As an ambassador for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association, Sarah runs a charity art club and is involved with research into the benefits of art on health and wellbeing.
