Sarah Rhodes is a designer whose experience and training crosses over the boundaries of design, craft and art. Her most recent collection, 'Re-found', is derived from the collection and juxtaposition of texture transposed from found objects. Casting and manipulating ordinary fragments such as wooden carvings, telephone wire baskets or glass beads and juxtaposing them with texture, colour or content, she gives them a new visual meaning. Everyday objects have been taken out of their traditional context and re-appropriated to produce small, sculptural objects to be worn on the body. 

   

Being based in Africa for many years, Sarah Rhodes' work is concerned with ethical practices and social sustainability. She is developing her practice-based research into collaborative work between established designers and grassroots African crafts projects further, challenging current preconceptions of the designer's role in the developing world.
