about the artist

Sarah Emily Porter is an award-winning British artist whose practice explores colour, composition, and process. Working from her Leyton studio, she creates abstract works using gravity-led mechanisms that remove the artist’s hand, allowing materials to flow and settle naturally. Her pieces respond to the textures and histories of place, layering paint to echo the physical and emotional fabric of urban and natural environments. Through her innovative approach, Sarah Emily invites viewers to witness the quiet choreography between control, chance, and the forces of nature.

the story

Like ‘Walthamstow Wetlands’, this artwork is inspired by the evening light reflecting across the water at Walthamstow Wetlands. The grid draws its form from the surrounding urban environment – a structure that both frames and contrasts with the natural softness of the wetlands and their shifting light. Through layered colour and geometry, Sarah captures fleeting reflections and the delicate moments where water, wildlife, and city briefly intersect.
