About Sarah Figlio Hopes

I’m an American visual artist who now lives and works in the UK. My background is in painting but somehow in the last few years I’ve shot over 100,000 photos so now I feel it’s safe to say I’m a photographer. My photos fall into categories which I call Larks, abbreviated from the word mudlarking which is the time honoured practice of salvaging things of any value from the wash line of the Thames river tides. I lark in nature and in urban spaces, collecting things in photo which I’m crafting into stories about how things which seem disparate are actually connected and similarly how things which seem innocuous are actually profoundly beautiful and inherently meaningful.
