I love city conferences in the autumn, you leave at the end of summer, this time last year I was in Albania at Walk21. A colleague was travelling there recently, so I’ve written a retrospective blog, to share some of the great experiences I had there… www.thepublicartcompany.co.uk/walk21-tirana/
I’ve always wanted to be an artist. It took years of concerted effort before I finally found my way into public art. None of it happened by accident or overnight. It took decades. Today I know this is my calling. Cut me in half and it says ‘artist’ right through me. I’m only just getting started!

The story behind ‘Jetty’… Today it sits in a meadow on Northey Island. In around 100 years, rising sea levels could turn the surrounding landscape into saltmarsh — and visitors may approach the Jetty by boat rather than on foot. Read the story of 'Jetty' here: www.sarahayes.art/jetty/

Community engagement is at the core of what I do — often using walking and art to connect people with place. Lovely feedback from Greenwich Trust School: “I have heard fantastic feedback from both staff and students… our students thoroughly enjoyed the trip.” #CommunityEngagement #ArtsEducation
I really enjoyed delivering this green infrastructure map for Myland, Colchester 🌿 Client feedback; “The main purpose for which I contacted you has been fully achieved.”
Bespoke town & village signs 🌳 Local walks. Heritage. Wildlife. Landmarks. Stories of place. All brought together in one clear, illustrated map. This one for Little Maplestead. I design these to commission for towns, villages, parks and community spaces. #townmap
Loving this! I used ceramic tiles for my Walton Trail Project - they can be digitally printed and cut by water jet. Would be nice for a civic art project! Plus longer lasting than painted street art!
'Jetty' tells the story of rising sea levels on the Essex coast. The artwork occupies the point at which sea level is predicted to reach Northey Island in around 100 years' time. As such, it exists in two landscapes simultaneously: the one we experience today...
I was surprised and delighted at the launch to see how naturally people interacted with the Jetty artwork. People gathered for a chat, or sat quietly looking across the marshes. That's exactly what I'd hoped for, a place of contemplation, on a little island on the Essex coast!
After 2.5 years of drawings, meetings, planning and conversations, Jetty is now part of the landscape at #NortheyIsland. If you visit, check tide times, bring a packed lunch + sunscreen. Take a moment to reflect, in 100 years' time, this artwork is predicted to be in the water.
Last Saturday saw the official launch of 'Jetty' at #NortheyIsland! National Trust's Russell Clement spoke about the site's "spirit of place" something we'd discussed right back at the project's inception in January 2024. I gave talks on the artwork and ran a printmaking workshop.
Super excited to announce that Saturday saw the launch of my ‘Jetty’ art installation for the National Trust. More pics and how it was made to follow! 🥂🍾@ThePublicArtCo www.maldonandburnhamstandard.co.uk/news/2641960...
Art installation inspired by climate change unveiled on island in Blackwater Estuary
More than 80 people joined National Trust staff and volunteers at Northey Island to mark the launch of "Jetty".

Today was a long, hot day on the island. The grass stood tall and golden and perfectly still… a rare sight on the island. The kind of weather you’d describe as ‘close.’ I came down to create signage for the event on Saturday, against the clock, and against the tide. Time and tide wait for no man!
It’s fair to say my work is inspired by the ecology of a place, and Northey brought that in abundance. Every walk brought new natural wonders, but it was the 3D texture of the mud plains that inspired the surface of the installation now living on the island. #NortheyIsland
Two and a half years ago, on a cold, wet day in January, my Conversations with the Sea journey began at #NortheyIsland. Since then I've walked the island in every season, and every conversation has helped shape Jetty. Launching this Saturday... (A few clues in the photos!)
