Sapphire Prust (b. 2001, Isle of Wight) is a London based artist whose current work delves into her personal Catholic heritage. Sapphire blends family stories with her own spiritual journey, crafting a unique ‘religious aesthetic’ inspired by her American-Hungarian great aunt’s life as a nun.
Materiality is key to her practice as she explores the values of contem- porary and traditional sculptural elements; concrete, steel, plaster and beeswax, investigating how traditional materials can be used in current context, keeping and manipulating materials in their ‘raw state’.
Addi-tionally, image generation plays a large part in her ‘world building’ as she mixes old and new techniques, combining traditional printmaking with modern AI and photographic processes.
