Sarah Sproule’s work critically examines identity, disability, and the body, exploring the myth of permanence and our collective fear of change through sculpture and installation. Using materials such as ceramics, plaster, and latex paint to depict abstracted bodies in motion, she captures the tension between durability and decay, mirroring how queer, disabled, and fat bodies exist in flux within a world that demands stability. Working with found objects and casting processes, Sproule dismantles, reforms, and reimagines domestic objects to rewrite their histories, allowing gravity, chance, and failure to shape the outcome. Drawing from the ghost story and the aesthetics of horror, she examines repression through the lens of religious control, disrupting the supposed safety of domestic spaces to expose cultural fears of bodily and spiritual transformation.
