Sarah-Jane Field explores language, reality and technology. She is interested in the effect of our material 'things' talking to us as if they were our friends, doctors and teachers. She focuses on subsequent disrupted authority and identity and does this by playing through and with an expanded definition of 'the image', as conceived by Philosopher Thomas Nail (2019; 11) who writes: "the image is not reducible to a strictly visual kind […but is…] optical, sonic, haptic, olfactory, and gustatory".
In 2023, Sarah-Jane graduated with an MA in Contemporary Photography; Practices and Philosophies (Distinction). Her final project, LAMELLA:// was nominated for the Mullen NOVA CSM award and received one from Hahnemüehle for most creative use of their paper. In 2022, why is there an astronaut in a field of flowers/ was one of seven projects selected from UK university graduates for Format/Derby Quad's Future Focus Exhibition and received a Format Award.
