Experimentation with a variety of materials is an important part of my creative practice. I collect and hoard materials to use in my work. It is like an excavation, digging, finding, cataloguing, and sorting. I think of my work as visual cabinets of curiosity. I like the narratives that are created by juxtapositions of different objects and materials. Layers of past, present, and future merge. My work explores the links between art, archaeology, and philosophy. I focus on creating ambiguous narratives and questioning the nature of ‘reality’. I am interested in obscure organic forms, like blurred memories, that may represent natural forces, objects in the landscape, or the human figure. <img width="1407" height="2000" width_o="1407" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5cd16bad0c7b6598fc9f2141a3ce6064b1ad909b1bbb249a7b60d8956adfb484/d4.jpg" data-mid="193126699" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5cd16bad0c7b6598fc9f2141a3ce6064b1ad909b1bbb249a7b60d8956adfb484/d4.jpg" /> <img width="2818" height="2818" width_o="2818" height_o="2818" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0236771cd76e8779f5744e94ffffd57e13dcb14745238c0eb7a58598c4fdeb1/IMG_3231.jpg" data-mid="193126698" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e0236771cd76e8779f5744e94ffffd57e13dcb14745238c0eb7a58598c4fdeb1/IMG_3231.jpg" /> <img width="1428" height="2000" width_o="1428" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2727187e25ab0a7fdf62249ebdb3ef6e092c7f997b9bc6555594efd9f89cf894/DSC_0474.jpg" data-mid="193126695" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2727187e25ab0a7fdf62249ebdb3ef6e092c7f997b9bc6555594efd9f89cf894/DSC_0474.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1500" width_o="2000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f596cb77f9d2283cfbd240c79ece7a99da6b3578426df8b55bbfecca703c3035/50942b22-1369-461e-9f11-3a9d677eefe9.JPG" data-mid="193126697" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f596cb77f9d2283cfbd240c79ece7a99da6b3578426df8b55bbfecca703c3035/50942b22-1369-461e-9f11-3a9d677eefe9.JPG" /> https://shetlandartists.org/Sarah-Kay Tue, 09 Dec 2025 09:22:29 +0000 Shetland Artists ~ printmakers, filmmakers, painters, poets, sculptors https://shetlandartists.org/Sarah-Kay Sarah Kay www.sarahkayarts.com @sarahkayarts Filed under:Drawing, Painting, Photography A Shetland based visual artist.

Her practice blends craft and storytelling, capturing the colours, textures and atmosphere of Shetland’s seascapes, from calm turquoise shallows to storm-lit horizons.

His visual style is heavily inspired by surrealist and fantasy artwork of the 70s and 80s, the kind you would find on movie posters, album covers or board game box art. He strives to make art that would have gripped his own attention when he was a child, images that are undeniable and clear in their intent. <img width="1403" height="2010" width_o="1403" height_o="2010" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2dc2271e84a70e9411677b035ff60c5bb3fd41bbaa4cdd36c27d4a9fa34c1869/Mara-Full-Version-copy.jpg" data-mid="193125104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2dc2271e84a70e9411677b035ff60c5bb3fd41bbaa4cdd36c27d4a9fa34c1869/Mara-Full-Version-copy.jpg" /> <img width="914" height="1410" width_o="914" height_o="1410" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e6cb3c791bc8a061e2554b7a6930eefcd92e88d52db1f7d3cb7c40cdfa8e929/Trowsholm-album-cover-hi-res-Extended-Artwork.jpg" data-mid="193125105" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/914/i/6e6cb3c791bc8a061e2554b7a6930eefcd92e88d52db1f7d3cb7c40cdfa8e929/Trowsholm-album-cover-hi-res-Extended-Artwork.jpg" /> <img width="1063" height="1545" width_o="1063" height_o="1545" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bc61691a68a22770ec5ba69614b07a75ad75402eafb1f50b7e9276bbf85e4c1/2021---Shetland-Greenman-copy.jpg" data-mid="193125107" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bc61691a68a22770ec5ba69614b07a75ad75402eafb1f50b7e9276bbf85e4c1/2021---Shetland-Greenman-copy.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="2123" width_o="1500" height_o="2123" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8097eaa366274a360ad5726bac5f73070cfc28f40862257644a5462399733d17/Dirk-Odin-painting-2022.jpg" data-mid="193126048" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8097eaa366274a360ad5726bac5f73070cfc28f40862257644a5462399733d17/Dirk-Odin-painting-2022.jpg" /> https://shetlandartists.org/Sally-Huband Tue, 03 Oct 2023 11:23:31 +0000 Shetland Artists ~ printmakers, filmmakers, painters, poets, sculptors https://shetlandartists.org/Sally-Huband Sally Huband @sallyhuband Filed under:Drawing, Photography, Printmaking Sally is a self-taught writer and illustrator.
