Solo Exhibition. Working Artist Studios, Ballydehob, Cork.
Friday 19th January - 17th February 2024.
This significant solo exhibition shares the first step of the evolution in Sarah’s most recent work. In a new body of work, this collection of drawings captures moments of humanity, emotion, courage and hope.
This body of work made during 2022/2023 is an exploration of figurative work, featuring portraiture. The exhibition included works called: ‘Limitless Compassion’ exploring division & inequality; ‘See Me’ which is about celebrating our older generation; ‘The Unspoken’ considering the perspective of someone experiencing mental health challenges and of someone supporting a loved one on their recovery journey.
Alongside the drawings sat ‘Endangered & Vanishing Beauty’ a Limited-Edition Paper-Cut book series which continues to build on one of Sarah’s signatures: paper cut artworks.
Having undertaken an artist residency in Working Artist Studios in 2021, Sarah developed ‘Love & Loss’ a site-specific large scale work for this show during an artist residency in 2023. The first figurative work at this scale for her, and it continues to echo detailed mark making, creating an intriguing depth in each piece.
