“Sarah Perkins is considered among the leading figures in the contemporary enameling field. Her hollowware forms, decorated with rich enamel color and alluring surface detail, reflect her dual inter vases and containers – which, while they explore the concepts of use, and ritual, defy their functional foundations to rise to the level of intimately-scaled abstract sculpture.”
– Enamel Arts Foundation, Hal Nelson, Bernard Jazaar
“I feel a strong affinity for metal and I am fascinated by its permanence, malleability, strength and surface qualities. The forms and color imagery are derived from leaves, fish and other natural objects because I find these modulations of color, texture and surface both appealing and very intimate. I am influenced by artists such as 19th century painter William Turner, modernist painter Helen Frankenthaler and contemporary conceptual artist, Gerhard Richter ”
