Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with artist Sarah Maple who is exhibiting a painting in our current group exhibition 'Matrescence'. Sarah Maple is an award winning visual artist known for her bold, brave, mischievous and occasionally controversial artworks that challenge notions of identity, religion and the status quo. Much of Maple's inspiration originates from her mixed religious and cultural upbringing.
Sarah’s artwork, film and performances have been exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including Tate Britain, Golden Thread Gallery and Tallin Art Hall. Her recent commissions include The Baltic, New Art Exchange and Sky Arts.
"Maple harnesses her frustration, dismay and disappointment in prevailing attitudes into mature and thought- provoking work that challenges ideas around identity, religion, race, the artworld, feminism and freedom of expression. Often using herself as a conduit to challenge stereotypes and normative behaviour, Maple is adept at confronting complex issues that we are all thinking about with wit, irony and a startling honesty.” - Kate Bryan - Art Historian, Broadcaster, Author and Head of Collections Soho House,
‘Matrescence’ brings together the work of four artists Mothers, curated by a Mother, with a portion of sales going to local non-profit organisation MAMA to MAMA. The artists Catherine Lette, Sarah Maple, Jennifer Nieuwland and Alexis Soul-Gray explore the concept of Matrescence, or the becoming of a mother, in their works in varying ways. From the bold, brutal reality alongside a dose of good humour. The exhibition continues at our new permanent home at 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD until 27th November 2022. The Gallery is open Thursdays 11-4pm, Saturdays 11-3pm and outside of these times by appointment.
