“I love [the book, Focused on King’s College Chapel]. The light is superb, an active agent in its own right, especially the dapples and speckles. Not just an adjunct of form… [This] must be the most handsome tribute ever paid to a single building. With its blend of words and diverse visual voices it is an Alleluia Chorus.”

About Sara
A normal day for Sara is balanced between photography and home education of her 9-yr old. Frequent travels involve adventurous locations, home ed, and her camera – the perfect trio. Some of her great loves are abstract art, ashtanga yoga, camping and bonfires, a good book, fresh food, a long walk, family, and fuzzy socks. Her favourite movie quote is from The Contender: “Principles only mean something if you stick by them when they’re inconvenient.”
Sara lives with her husband and daughter in the Cambridge Riverside area and is always on the lookout for new friends, photography collaborations, and interesting exhibition venues.
One of Sara’s favourite anecdotes:
At the Illuminating Cambridge Libraries exhibition, a woman was scooting along the bench looking at the Wall of Texture. She was so engrossed that she literally slid right off the end of the bench, landing on the floor with a thud – and very excitedly came to Rawlinson’s next exhibition.
