Sarah Maple is a young UK artist where "much of her inspiration originated from her being brought up as a Muslim, with parents of mixed religious and cultural backgrounds." Her photography and paintings have an obvious pop wit tilt with a sharp edge behind her come-hither eyes, most evident in her self-portraitures, which deal with themes of, to step outside the realm of pedantic art-speak, "being a woman, Islam, sex, drugs, and fucking off." Her pieces are entertaining, but I'm more curious to see what her next stage will bring.
