It's Complicated by Sarah Wiberley | Solo Exhibition
20th January - 14th February 2025








With her collections, ‘Going Round in Circles’, ‘Life Patterns’ and ‘It’s Complicated’, Wiberley excels at the complex. Distinct and commanding layered patterns with multiple hues traverse around her vessels. What would be complicated to achieve in the 2D, effortlessly encases her three-dimensional curving canvasses, applied with a couturier’s eye for colour.
Wiberley was introduced to glass in 2001 whilst studying at The Surrey Institute of Art and Design, graduating with 1st class honours 3D Design - specialising in glassmaking - in 2004. It was during this time she experimented with layering, exploiting the different opacities of glass and how this could be employed for her surface imagery. The beginnings of what would later go on to be the signature processes within her work.
Honing her craft via working for a number of prestigious glass studios, Wiberley embarked on a masters degree at The Royal College of Art, graduating in 2011 from the Ceramics and Glass department. This was an invaluable time to unify, refine and build upon the various skills learnt over the previous years.
Wiberley continues to develop her work in her own London-based studio, she has exhibited extensively within the UK, as well as in New York and Europe.
