She studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art, graduating with First Class Honours in 1997, and completed an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is a multidisciplinary artist working across kinetic installation, sculpture, drawing and moving image. Her practice explores systems of control, instability and material transformation, often engaging with political and environmental events. Through reworked objects and mechanical systems, she explores how everyday forms can carry traces of power, memory and behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy, Zabludowicz Collection, Whitechapel Gallery and Compton Verney. She currently works as a Gallery Educator at the National Portrait Gallery and hosts My Private View, an arts and culture podcast and radio programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore studying art, Sapsford travelled extensively as a professional long-distance sailor and later worked as a Traffic and Logistics Coordinator for Bechtel during the Kuwait Oil Field Restoration project, before continuing with the reconstruction phase.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bending-the-rules","title":"Bending the Rules","description":"\u003cp\u003eBending the Rules – A Yardstick . \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece transforms an everyday measuring tool into a subtle meditation on structure, authority, and deviation. The yardstick, traditionally a symbol of precision, standardization, and objective truth, is reconfigured into an angular, almost anthropomorphic form. No longer straight, no longer fixed in its purpose, it occupies a space between utility and expression. The piece suggests that systems of measurement, like systems of power, are not neutral but imposed and negotiable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Si Sapsford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58139986297214,"sku":null,"price":670.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/BendingtheRules-Closeup-SiSapsford-Sculpture.jpg?v=1790855759"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Si_Sapsford_in_studio.jpg?v=1790855510","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/si-sapsford.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
