Sarah Jane Brown


The essence of Sarah’s work is to create sculpture that is uniquely individual with each piece being lovingly handmade with care and attention to detail from the start to the finish.  This was successfully achieved due to the flexibility of the wire knit enabling it to be manipulated by hand to create the initial form of the sculpture. Further wrapping, twisting and hand stitching of the wire, gives added detail to each piece and thereby personalizing each sculpture. Continual inspiration for her work is taken from everyday observations of animals and humans and portrayed with a distinctive twist to create an individual sculpture. Knitted wire is carefully handmoulded into a variety of forms, the original collection concentrates on dogs, and is made with ‘Daisy’, ‘Digger’ and ‘Dazzler’. The individual dogs are identified by a flower, bone or star on their collars. Tails and legs are added separately and hand-stitched, in turn creating individual and unique canine sculptures.
