Sadie Clayton

B 1990, West Yorkshire, UK. Based in London, UK.

Sadie is a British sculptural artist specialising in working with copper metal exploring the intersection of spirituality, technology and remedial practice. In 2013 Sadie graduated from Kingston University with a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design and went on to achieve her own label. While Sadie’s foundation is in fashion and design, she began working with copper and thus developed a signature application which is at once distinguished and yet mindful of the artist's consistent method and approach.

​​Where the ethereal touches the engineered, the practice spans limitation, delving into both liminal and environmental spaces with equal measure for expansion, convalescence, rejuvenation, revival and play. Drawn back again and again to copper, a material renowned for its healing prowess and hygienic properties, Sadie’s affinity for this medium stems from her insatiable curiosity to sculpt at the intersection of dualities and probes the connections between the metaphysical and the mechanical. Sadie's bicultural lens envisions and manifests sculptures that investigate the fertile interplay of spirit and Western mysticism. Her innate passion for the potential of copper imbues with a metaphorical femininity and quite literal radiance.
