Autorenporträt
Sarah Crinall writes with the material of everyday life in a 1970s Coldon beach home on shearwater swampland, between Western Port bay and Bass Straits Southern Ocean. Sarah has been mothering, writing, researching and creating on the Australian southern coast for eight years now. Living with her husband, Paul, and daughters, Edith and Vivi, new practices and daily rhythms have emerged with Sarahs research, which swims in the queries that sustainability provokes.Sarah writes in the spaces of early motherhood from the couch, at the dining table, and in bed with everyday momentary and bodily encounters. As she writes, the words change shape with the landscape surrounds and homely wares.As a marine ecologist and educator, Sarah began using art to make room for people and water to be together in a more embodied way. A young girl once asked: We know you love waterways, but why should we? From there Sarah found herself pursuing a doctorate on the relationship between artists and waterways.Sarah completed her doctorate, Blogging Art and Sustenance: Artful everyday life (making) with water, in 2017. This dissertation received an AERA award (Division D Outstanding Dissertation Award). This thesis is the basis for this monograph - Sustaining childhood natures: The art of becoming with water.In the past five years, Sarah has enjoyed making and sustaining everyday with other various lives on Phillip Island. With co-mothers, Sarah formed a playgroup (the Phillip Island Family playgroup); and helped with the inception of a new primary school, Phillip Island Village School, Ventnor as a co-founding board member. Now Edith, Vivi and Sarah are energised and nourished in weekly Barn School forays. Here local families, children and parents can gather, explore and be together in shared experiences around Phillip Island in sync with the season. Sarah continues to write passionately on the matter(s) of motherhood and bodyplace lives.
