Terry Sadler

Biography

Terry acts as co-ordinator for the ArtWorks group, planning and working with the members on group exhibitions, workshops and networking events in and around London. She has also managed a number of Hertfordshire visual arts projects and sculpture commissions since she graduated in 1988, drawing upon her earlier experience working in advertising.

Terry has always been drawn to sculpture and the power of materials, making simple subject matter more potent with powerful contrasts by mixung traditional and man made materials. Wood and stone; glass and hessian, steel and lead, found objects in an unexpected setting – this stuff matters to her.

She is also influenced by photography and installation to capture a significant moment in a different way. Images are used in different formats and in both 2 & 3 dimensions to represent the texture, temperature, light, and sound of a moving, yet everyday experience.

Over the last few years she has explored a number of themes based on a move from country to town and an awareness of significant changes in the stuff & textures of her new environment -

NEWS: In 2011, Terry has joined other ArtWorks members in group exhibitions at St Martins in the Fields, at the Clare Foundation as part of Bucks Open Studios and at the Hertford Theatre Gallery in October. They have also shared workshops based on Identity, and a free and creative day in local woods working to an Andy Goldsworthy theme.
