Profile
Sara Bor
Following a career as an Animation TV Producer/Director making award winning children’s TV programmes, I returned to my Fine Art roots in 2007 and studied for an MA in Fine Art. I am now a PhD Researcher at Falmouth University. This practice- based research is an exploration of the meaning of ‘Home.’ Through reflection and the creation of a unique set of artworks, I am using my own biographical reference, and the history of domestic life in a 19th Century agricultural community, to explore the impact on women. Drawing historical reference in particular, from the imagined life of Jane Frost, who lived and farmed from my home in the 19th Century.
Place and land use are the dominant theme of my practice, history, geography and human imprints. The correlation with the materials themselves and the processes involved. I am inevitably drawn back to a connection with the land and materials that I find there.
