Sachiko Purser’s work is inspired by nature, narratives and nostalgia. It explores the imprint of the current environment of the natural world. Her series of work Endangered Species seeks to raise awareness of the wave of extinction in the natural world by creating images of vanishing animals and birds, communicating important environmental issues to the viewer. Species are quietly disappearing from Earth. She captures their existence by creating images of ghostly humanised animals and birds. Her works are hand-painted photopolymer etching based on Sumi-ink painting. Sachiko graduated from Cambridge School of Art in 2015. She went on to obtain an MA in Children's Book Illustration, and more recently an MA in printmaking. She is passionate about nature and the environment, especially the welfare of animals and birds. She combines traditional techniques such as Japanese wood block and Sumi-ink painting with a contemporary perspective in printmaking. 50 per cent profits from sales of Endangered Species series are donated to animal and bird conservation groups. She has presented her work in many joint exhibitions, and she exhibited at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2022. Her project 'Endangered Species' was shortlisted by David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation 2022.
