In this presentation Sarah will talk about leaving her full time job to set up her own studio, delving into new ventures in search of creative freedom. Shifting her practice to focus on making artworks and working with artisans, she will show some of her most recent projects such as her heart benches and explain how these came about and the freedom she found in making them. She will also talk about how her sense of creativity and freedom are intrinsically linked.

Sarah Boris
Artist & Designer
Sarah Boris is an artist whose practice spans sculpture, drawing, print, painting, and design. Her work often explores colour, familiar symbols alongside themes of identity and language.
One of her most recognised works is Fragile UK Flag (2015), a reimagining of the Union Jack using fragile tape and blue paper. Later recreated on cloth, the piece has been carried in marches across London and was included in the Design Museum’s exhibition Hope to Nope (2018), as well as The Right to Protest (2025) curated by the Museum of Unrest. Other major projects include her public art commission Heart Bench (2021), which reinterprets the universal heart symbol as a functional sculpture. Her artist books, such as Rainbow, Global Warming Anyone?, Le Théâtre Graphique, and After the Rain, further extend her interest in visual language and collective symbols.
