Sally works with vintage, distressed images, and black and white with touches of colour. She seems to really be in tune to shapes and geometric forms. Her work often reflects the sort of geometric style that is also used by artists like Chris Butler and Eva Han. I like this, and I see plenty of promise in her version of this style.

Q: Describe your work in 10 words or less.
A: The result of an obsession with geometry.

Q: What do you like to work with (magazines, photographs, vintage)? Be specific!
A: I love photography from the 40's and 50's and I'm lucky enough to live right by a market which sells hundreds of old photographs! But sometimes I'll just be looking around the internet and see a photo I love so just print it out, that's why I'm not so scared about cutting them up. I recently found out about a method called packing tape transfer which is the most amazing thing! Google it if you dont know!

Q: How long have you been creating collages and what made you start?
A: I'm still only young (18!) but I just find collage so inspirational, and limitless! I remember first getting into this style of work 2 years ago from listening to the band The Blood Brothers, their artwork was by a guy called Andy Dixon and I just couldnt get enough of it in my first year of college, everything was referenced to him.

Q: Are you solely an artist, or do you work in another profession?
A: I never ever want to work a job! That would drain me. My life plan is to have a big white studio in London and make lots of money! (fingers crossed).

Q: Do you have any formal art training?
A: Yeah and I'm still currently getting it! I have a national diploma in graphic design, and I'm currently doing a foundation year at Newcastle College which is going to get me into Camberwell College of Arts in London (again fingers crossed).
