Sarah Targett The King of Trees
Sarah Targett studied Fine Art Printmaking at Falmouth College of Art and now concentrates on making contemporary, narrative based Screenprints. Her prints are driven by the natural world and everyday domestic objects. With a love for colour and pattern the objects are often highly decorative and a vessel for to tell a story. Sarah has combined drawing from observation with these influences to create her prints. Birds and animals often escape decorative motifs and disrupt the viewers expectation of their appropriation as images. Witty titles to the work reflect her approach as the word play adds to a sense of implied narrative.
She has exhibited at the RA and the RWA.
