Sarah Bookman (M.Arch Prof) is a designer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. While working in architecture, Sarah continues to use painting and drawing as an essential part of her design process. The nature of architecture, a creative yet professional service based industry, has led her to reflect on the rift between this and her artistic practice to inform her work.
Exploring the fluidity of the human body, form in space, colour play, geometry contrasted with flow and mass; her visual repertoire is developing an emerging unique art practice.
