Sarah Dinnick’s work is an emotive, visual diary of love, self discovery, connection and the luminous beauty
of the everyday.
“Whether of street scenes, airports, interiors, or rural landscapes, her photographs seem to be eavesdropping on interior life – the hint of an inside, not fully accessible. The distance remains, and so too a longing for intimacy with that other… The human figure may not be visibly present in the photograph. It may be present only as a trace – in a single chair, a table cloth, or the peeling paint on a door. A vibrant green or orange catches our eye and makes us focus. We are witness to a complicated and fragile beauty of the everyday.”

“Dinnick often investigates people’s relationships to built form and physical spaces in her work. Capturing otherwise lost moments of people in interesting spaces, she asks universal questions: what is this person’s experience in this space? What is my connection to this person and this person’s experience? Is my experience similar or different, and why? Does this space impact the person and the experience in the long term? The use of surfaces to create reflection and layers of transparency speak to the complex nature of the questions.”
