Sarah Rayner lives and works in Wootha, Jinibara Country, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland. As an artist, she predominantly works sculpturally, creating collections of porcelain objects, underpinned by an interest in plant reproduction and the aesthetics of museology.

 

Rayner is informed and inspired by the sheer ingenuity of plant life, its cyclic metamorphoses and the clever methods plants have evolved to attract pollinators and protect their precious seeds. Beginning her creative process outdoors, she walks environs new and known. Attentive to traces of the changing seasons, flashes of colour, delicate smells, and ripening fruit attract her gaze.
