In her explorations of representation and social status, Sarah Baker often disseminates her artwork unconventionally to heighten the tension between fabrication and authenticity. Using branding and tactical marketing tropes to position her work at the centre of a fabricated spectacle, the result of her interventions is that her work sits uneasily within the fashion, TV, advertising, film, and art worlds.

Sarah Baker lives and works in London. She is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute and received an MA in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College, London. She is a recipient of grants and awards from Arts Council England Grants for the Arts (2004, 2006, 2012), US National Endowment for the Arts (2012), The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (2012), and Bethnal Green Town Hall Hotel commissions administrated by Artsadmin (2012).
