Sara paints with very gestural mark making, and this painting is part of her 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 has been heat-sealed onto block with rear hanging framework so that it floats approx. 4cms in front of the wall. It is a diptych ie two parts stacked vertically with a small gap between the two.

Description
Contemporary painterly qualities and drawn marks are essential components in Sara Dudman’s work, conveying an intuitive understanding of her subject, capturing, analysing and representing their movements or properties. Fragility and transience are expressed through unpainted or sparsely formed negative spaces. Through the process of drawing and painting she progressively locates and extracts order from apparent chaos, drawing out patterns of movement and behaviour. Small-scale and intimate, or large and expressive, these gestural paintings are created in layers, alternately recording and expressing the essence of the subject and its environment or context.
