 Working across various media, from drawing, print and sculpture to live and interactive art, UK artist Sally Noall, who graduated with an MA in Contemporary Visual Arts from University College Falmouth, is fascinated by "small, unimportant and often forgotten components of daily life, which can acquire iconic status if we allow them space to do so."

Be it her series of Consumable Sculptures  in which the audience are invited to eat and drink the sculptural forms on display, her performances recreating scenes from Hitchcock's "The Birds" - albeit with cakes replacing the birds and with the addition of Dorothy's red shoes, or her memories of Ten Conversations with Strangers  documented through photographs of reflections in tea cups drunk at the time, the recognisable and mundane receive the same reverential treatment as our cultural icons,  Noall deliberately distorts our expectations through altered context and visual intervention.

Motivated by her "everyday bewilderment at the objects and images I see, situations and stories I encounter or remember, cultural references, icons & rituals that are part of, yet not exclusive to, my own life", Noall presents us with works that are at once familiar yet also ambiguous and puzzling, inviting us to consider why our "cultural objects" inspire nostalgia and yearning, and how they reveal, or question, our identity.
