Ep.7 Digital Islamic Arts with Sara Choudhrey

Sara Choudhrey is a London-based artist and researcher, using an investigative process to explore themes of space and place.

Sara’s interests in the construction and application of patterns based on geometry and stylised botanical forms is informed by visiting historical sites and considering human engagement and impact with spaces through material culture. Through both her research and artworks, Sara raises the question of whether hybrid art presents an affinity to an ever-globalising and hybrid society, seeking inspiration through spaces where cultures intersect. The results are hybrid in both practice and media and include examples of light art, interactive installations, painting, sculpture and etching.

Sara embarked on her journey into creative and mixed media whilst studying Multimedia Technology & Design (BSc Hons) at Brunel University in London, UK (2006). She further explored the contextual and reflective aspects of artistic practice through a research-led Masters in Digital Arts from Camberwell College of Arts (UAL, London, UK, 2010). Sara has also completed a PhD in Digital Arts from the University of Kent (2018).
