Sarah’s work investigates overlays of the past and present, both the physical and invisible inscriptions that shape the use and understanding of places.
She examines the ways in which competing frames interposed on a single landscape surface complexity or tension, can result in growth and change, conflict or erasure. Through design research, Sarah explores the ways that design might take a critical stance on the current conditions of a site, and situate itself amidst these shifting meanings.
Her project examined the potentials of an interpretive trail to reinscribe coherence between dispersed natural and cultural remnants of the subalpine region.
