Between organic matter, repeated gestures and a deeply physical understanding of transformation, British artist Sarah Misselbrook develops a practice that connects body, landscape and processes of decay through a fragile yet intensely visceral perspective. Based for many years in Riba-roja d’Ebre, she works with perishable materials such as wax, charcoal, latex, earth and soap to create sculptures, installations and performances in constant mutation, where erosion, memory and regeneration coexist within the same process.
For Eufònic Terra, Misselbrook presents a site-specific sculptural activation in an olive grove at Molí la Vella, in La Sénia. The piece unfolds in real time through the body, gesture and material transformation, allowing space, matter and action to contaminate one another. In direct dialogue with a landscape shaped by labour, nature and the passage of time, the work operates as a living and transient system where degradation and regeneration emerge as inseparable forces.

Misselbrook (United Kingdom, 1977) is a visual artist and performer. Trained in Fine Arts at Nottingham Trent University and holding an MFA from Winchester School of Art, her practice spans performance, video, sound and sculptural installation. Since 2012 she has been based in Riba-roja d’Ebre, a rural context that has deeply shaped both her work and her approach to materials, the body and landscape. In recent years she has presented projects and performances at spaces such as Lo Pati and within the Els Ports: Natura i Art programme, developing a body of work closely connected to processes of territorial transformation, material memory and the regeneration of environments affected by forest fires.
