Sadie Clayton (b.1990) is a British sculptural artist specialising in working with copper metal exploring the intersection of spirituality, technology and remedial practice. 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. Her innate passion for the potential of copper imbues with a metaphorical femininity and quite literal radiance.
