Sarah
Carter-Jenkins

Sarah Carter-Jenkins has worked in the fields of illustration & graphics for over twenty-five years, as well as teaching illustration and design at the National Art School Australia, the University of New South Wales, and the Whitehouse Institute of Design.

As part of her Master of Design studies Sarah worked in the medium of small sculpture, installations and film-making, and was the recipient of a NAVA Ignition Award for 2015 for her final Master’s project ‘Recollections of Light’.

As an illustrator, Sarah Carter-Jenkins deals with the figurative image and streetscape, producing hybrid forms of the hand-drawn and the digital, exploring the use of the visual image as a guide to lead the viewer through an imagined or recollected world. The focus on hybrid forms extends to her small sculpture, creating organic but inanimate pieces which suggest our remembered realities and imagined future, where inherent beauty meets implicit danger, connecting the fragile with the unsettling.
