"This is from a series called ‘Celebrities In Stone’ where I have taken genuine headlines from the Daily Mail and carved them into marble." - Sarah Maple.

Sarah Maple is an award winning visual artist known for her bold, brave, mischievous and occasionally controversial artworks that challenges notions of identity, religion and the status quo. Much of Maple's inspiration originates from being brought up as a Muslim, with parents of mixed religious and cultural backgrounds.
