Sarah Hardacre

Sarah Hardacre’s collages reveal images from local history archives and clippings from second hand gentleman’s magazines. While the subject matter of these works is, in the main, the voluptuous landscape of the female body overlaying the phallic like uprising of the modern, concrete skyline; these pieces are far from being a feminist critique. 

Rather, they can be viewed as a biographical fetishism of the artist, a juxtaposition of the dehumanising elements of the architectural surroundings of her home with the very human act of physical sensuality. Enacting in her practice a considered exploration of Salford’s Post-industrial landscape.
