Bio
William Titley
I have worked with Sarah on different creative projects under her guidance as a curator. Each time was an absolute pleasure, one which I felt fully supported from start to finish. I have also worked with Sarah within academia as a visiting professor for our students on MA Fine Art at The University of Central Lancashire, Preston. Sarah's curatorial insights and knowledge of international curatorial trends always created a buzz around the studios, which lasted for months and months.

I have had the fortunate to work under Sarah's direction on several high profile exhibitions and projects at Cornerhouse, her input has always been enthusiastic, supportive, pertinent and professional and I look forward to future opportunities.
