Sarah's research interests stem from a belief that contemporary film and video can merge realities through theatrical narratives that create psychological and emotional viewer impact.

Her work is inspired by the cinema and in particular, Silent Film, Film Noir, the complexity of the Femme Fatale and the craft of Buster Keaton. It is in these genres and characters, which rely on highly stylised physical and psychological acting, the use of imagery and shadow to convey meaning and the utilisation of visual imagery to communicate through gesture, movement and body language. She is interested in exploring cinematic impact within a critical framework, in both cinemas and galleries. As a performer, she has adopted 'protagonist' roles and is interested in developing this aspect of her work using the language of gesture and supporting visual accessories. Research intentions include applying traditional film techniques to her film productions, which currently integrate her photographic work and drawings. Sarah completed the MA in Visual Arts Practices in 2008.
