Sara Barker’s sculptures delicately trace lines in space. Operating on the boundary between sculpture, painting and drawing, her work incorporates a combination of industrial and sculptural materials together with collage, painting and craft techniques, to create unique forms which draw viewers into a curious spatial imagination.

As part of the new exhibition, Barker has selected artworks from the Leeds Art Gallery collection that are shown alongside her new body of work. These pieces continue to influence Barker’s practice and include works by Prunella Clough and Shelagh Cluett. The conversation between works highlights a common language between painting and sculpture that is visceral, tactile and elemental in form.
