Camberwell Arts Festival Commission

SALVATION. SALVATION. SALVATION.

A commission for Camberwell Arts Festival

I have been awarded a commission, by Camberwell Arts, to make a new work as part the celebrations for 20 years of Camberwell Arts Festival.  Twenty commissions have been awarded to artists to make work at venues in Camberwell.  I have been working with the Salvation Army Heritage Centre and have created an installation for their museum and inspired by their collection and archive.

Here's more information:

The Heritage Centre is taking part in the 2014 Camberwell Arts Festival. We will be hosting Sarah Sparkes’ installation ‘SALVATION. SALVATION. SALVATION.’ from Monday 16th June.
