ABOUT THE ARTWORK

‘Study for Cairn 2’ is the product of a deep immersion in the wild far westerly Cornish coastal environment. This intricately drawn work was created during an artist research residency at Brison’s Veor on Cape Cornwall. Sara took daily pilgrimages on foot to this and other cairns, constructed as beacon points along the coast. The execution of this drawing was an act of meditation, capturing and making tangible the abstract ideas of permanence and stability. Permanence and impermanence are in balance here in this drawing. ‘Study for Cairn 2’ is an acutely observed reverence towards its subject, created in order to deeply know and understand the nature of the cairn. The scale of the drawing conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place. Boundaries exist between figuration and abstraction, expression, memory and reality.

I am an artist with an affinity for wilderness, a concern for environment and a need for community. I exhibit extensively, lead collaborative, participatory and development projects and was elected an academician at the Royal West of England Academy of Art in 2016. A persistent curiosity about physical and conceptual relationships with the environment drives my work. Exploring the physical world is central to my practice, examining notions of ‘permanence and impermanence’ and ‘substance and essence’, including human and animal relationships with the environment. I absorb my subject through direct experiences and researched information, often using low-tech video footage as the source and starting point for reprocessing the subject through drawing and painting. From 2013-2016 I jointly undertook a collaborative project called Flock Together, working with fellow academician Debbie Locke RWA to research and create a body of works which interrogate and reinterpret sheep farming activity in the Blackdown Hills AONB in the South West of England. In contrast to the over-saturated, heightened, screen-based reality through which we increasingly experience our environment, my paintings and drawings reclaim the world as a personal encounter of depth and complexity. Painting for me is a necessarily ponderous activity. My gestures and marks speak of authorship and authenticity. My works present a re-enchantment with the world.
