Sandra studied Textiles at Chelsea College of Art and is a member of the Printmakers Council and Loop Artists Org. Her work is held in the prints and drawings collections at the V&A Museum and the Scarborough Museums Archive. Her practice has recently expanded to include glass and mixed media, deepening her engagement with material and process. Drawing inspiration from literature, history, and her immediate surroundings, Sandra’s work also addresses broader global themes such as social injustice, power dynamics, greed, and racism. Her approach is both research-led and intuitive, often combining traditional printmaking with experimental techniques.

A recent project was developed in response to the theme Being Human. I began with the vertebra of a tuna fish, which I cast in glass using the lost wax process. For me, the fish vertebrae acts as a metaphor — a reminder that humans are not more important than animals, nor they than us. We’re part of a shared, interdependent existence. Alongside the glass piece, I created plaster versions of the vertebra and worked with other found objects, exploring material contrast, structure, and transformation. The work grew into an installation titled The Garden of Gethsemane, referencing a place of reflection, betrayal, and moral crisis. In the context of today’s world — fractured by inequality, environmental collapse, and political brutality — it speaks to how far humanity can fall. Though abstract, the forms suggest a deeper tension. The installation invites viewers to reflect on their place within the natural world, and on what it truly means to be human.
