Sarah Maple was born in 1985. She completed a BA in Fine Art from Kingston University in 2007, and now lives in her native Sussex. In the same year she also won the ‘4 New Sensations’ competition for emerging artists, run by Charles Saatchi. Since then Sarah’s artwork, films and performances have been exhibited in New York, Canada, Israel and throughout Europe.
Maple has been named 'the heir to Tracy Emin's throne' by the Independent on Sunday. I have to confess I found that a sobering thought because as far as I know Tracey rejected Feminism while being happy to benefit from those who took risks and did the hard pioneering work, artists such as, Kate Walker, who sewed her life in to her work in pieces such as The Other Side of the Blanket. Tracey went for the money without reference to those who paved the way for her success.
