LALANI JENNINGS CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY

RIPE AND RUIN | Martin Pearce / Sarah Graeme

"These paintings were made to explore a paradox; the more various materials were combined, applied and reapplied to a canvas, the closer the generated effects approached ephemerality (mists and fog, rain, smoke, even ghosts)"

Sarah Graeme |

Sarah Graeme is an emerging ceramic artist currently based on T’Sou-ke and Pacheedaht Territory on Vancouver Island (Shirley, BC). She received her BFA from NSCAD University (2021). Sarah’s work combines ceramic forms with plant fibres using weaving and basketry techniques. This combination and overlap in craft mediums and ways-of-making serves as a personal reflection in the context of materials, relationships, and place. 

Her work is created intuitively as a conversation with materials, considering where they have come from, how they were processed, and exploring the relationship and responsibilities inherent in using them.
