sarah maple: the heir to tracy emin's throne?


I came across the impressive Sarah Maple over at bluemilk. Maple's work is fresh and challenging as she reinterprets and reflects upon herself as a woman who was raised as a muslim in the UK. What makes her especially interesting is the way she uses comedy. She displays a quirky and confrontational wit in her work that leaves you reconsidering boundaries, norms and opinions. Just what good art should do.
