Sarah Rayner lives and works in Wootha, Gubbi Gubbi country, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland. As an artist she predominately works sculpturally creating collections of porcelain objects, underpinned by an interest in plant reproduction and the aesthetics of museology.
Living in bushland and surrounded by flora, Sarah has a close affinity with Australian native plants. She is both informed and inspired by plant’s sheer ingenuity and tenacity, their cyclic metamorphosis and the clever methods they have evolved to attract pollinators and protect their precious seeds.

An important aspect of Sarah’s practice is to arrange and document her collections of native seedpods and florets into formal flat lay panels. These arrangements inform her sculptural arts practice and distil the acts of walking, observing and collecting.
