Sara Silks

Sara Silks creates photographic works, textile pieces, and mixed media installations that examine themes of memory and identity through material-driven narratives. Her limited edition photography book "023," released in May 2024, presents 96 pages of black and white imagery in a run of 250 signed and numbered copies. The book's visual exploration centers on concepts of destruction and vulnerability within traditional aesthetic frameworks. Silks' installation practice integrates photography with physical materials to construct immersive environments focused on personal and collective memory. Her process combines textile elements with photographic components to build layered, site-responsive works. These installations transform exhibition spaces into contemplative environments that engage with themes of remembrance and temporal experience. The artist's work has been exhibited in contemporary art institutions where she presents both photographic prints and three-dimensional pieces. Her interdisciplinary approach spans traditional darkroom techniques, digital processes, and sculptural methods. Silks continues to develop installations and photographic series that investigate the relationship between material presence and memory.
