Sarah collaborated with fellow artist Anne-Mie Melis on a project called ‘Ffyngau’ exploring fungi mycelium as a sculptural material. Having spent time on a fungi cultivation course at Coed Talylan in the Bynnau Bryceiniog (Brecon Beacons), they did a residency together at The Garage Studio, Bristol in 2023
