Sally Haworth (b. 1965, England) is a British artist who studied at Middlesex University and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London.  Her work engages with the concerns of international current affairs, primarily with regard to cultural diversity, the plight of the disadvantaged and the environment.  Travel has always been central to her work and she has a particular interest in the Middle East and Central Asia.  She has exhibited in the UK and internationally and her work is held in corporate and private collections.  She lives and works in London.

Haworth explores relationships between painting, drawing, printmaking and photography and her work resides where the discourses of art and documentary converge.  Her vision is to pursue artistic practice as a creative interface between disciplines expressed within the context of the documentary theme.  Through experimentation and the drawing process, she seeks to articulate relationships between divided cultures: the aesthetic and political, scientific and metaphysical, rational and emotive, visual and textual, material and technological.  Influences are eclectic; from Eastern and Western traditions, antiquity and the classical period, to modern and contemporary movements.

In her quest to find new forms of language and experience, Haworth explores new possibilities and approaches to image construction through hybrid forms.  Transcending the boundaries between painting and sculpture, the analogue and digital, the abstract and figurative, she builds intricate composite images on multiple layers of transparent plexiglass to create animated, three-dimensional hybrid images. Through the mixing of disciplines, genres and conventions, she constructs complex, multifaceted works that seek to reference the past, challenge the present and question the future.

As new vistas of global instability and uncertainty unfold, with a simultaneous marginalization of human values and morality, Haworth’s aspiration is to create works that excite a passionate and personal engagement with the critical issues of our time.  Her desire is to inspire human kinship and to incite contemplation on what it is to be human in a world of diminishing resources, inequality and injustice. Ultimately, her aim is to impart new insights and perspectives into socio-cultural issues through an interactive, experiential paradigm combining aesthetics and ethics.
