Sarah Linda Cassels

Cassels' work centres around identity, the development thereof, and what influences one’s view of oneself in and around the issues thereof. In their practice the body is explored as both subject and object trying to understand identity in terms of migration, race, culture, class in lieu of self identification. Within their repertoire Cassels attempts to ask questions such as “What is the function of the outer body (the physical body), if not used as a source for measurement? Does the body have a purpose other than to contain the soul, and if not is the content of the vessel more important than the vessel itself?

The work is largely abstract in nature and spans over various media; sculpture, printing, photography, performance.
