“‘On Road’ is a series of images I have been working on for the past year. I initially started taking photos for the series because of a genuine interest in people, popular culture, social groups and class structure. This drove me to document the people around me on the street. It seems as though in the 21st century, image is everything. Even if not intentionally, when a camera is pointed at us we react. Subconsciously or not, we pose. This was something that I wanted to avoid in my photos for this series. I wanted to capture people in a natural way, without them knowing they were being photographed. This is part of the reason I shoot most of the images from the hip to conceal the recognised action of taking a photograph, raising the camera to the eye.”

“Contained”

“Sarah Chapmans current practice centralises around the constructed natural environment, addressing environmental issues surrounding our use of plastics and our need to contain and control our surroundings, building them in our vision. Her work often results from performances within the natural landscape, with only photographic documentation of the performances remaining. Phenomenology remains at the forefront of Sarah’s work.

The 'Contained' series were begun on the Aland Archipelago Guest Artists Residence in Finland which Sarah undertook in 2009. The act of ‘containing’ an aspect of the natural landscape was in many ways a performance within the landscape. As someone who is environmentally aware, the process of using clear plastic bags to temporally contain an element of the landscape felt both brutal and highly conscious. It also provided a different experience of the landscape as I became aware of small creatures that lived in rock pools, bugs that surrounded the trees, the colour of the water, the fragility of the leaves and so on. After the scene was documented, the bags were emptied in a continuation of the performance. The landscape would return to its previous state and no evidence of my interference within it would remain.”
