Boundary Rock 3 (‘Darling Margaret’ Khon Kaen 1957)

Sara paints with very gestural mark making, and this painting is part of her new body of work which interprets the fascinating interactions and relationships between nature in the landscape, both in the air and on the ground.  This work is framed and glazed.

Rocks have emerged as metaphors for defining and questioning assumptions about permanence, resistance and protection. At times painted over ‘found’ surfaces or airmail letters, Sara works with synergies between surface and subject. She deploys mark-making and gestures to reinterpret the swarming motion of flocks of airborne creatures, at times juxtaposed with representations of permanence.

Description

Sara’s paintings and drawings are distillations of experiences from diverse residencies in rural locations. A deep curiosity about relationships and places underpins her creative practice and whilst derived from experience, her works do not rely for their worth on accurate depiction of specific people, objects or places.

Using the personal and interpretive possibilities of drawing and painting, yet derived from the immediacy and documentation of video, her works reinterpret perceptions of landscape, activity and the elements at play upon it. Traces of the layering process revealed within the works assert the primacy of paint itself as a contributor to the creation of each work.

Living and working in rural locations together with a respectful understanding of rural communities and industry, her works imply and infer wider and analogous traditions and relationships with land and environment.

Sara’s creative practice is fuelled by regular residential research trips throughout the British Isles and beyond. She has been selected for artist residencies in diverse locations including Italy, Cornwall, Shetland and Northumberland.
