Sara Lee hauls long shadows over the escarpment from the luminous skies of the half-light. In new pastel drawings, Lee tussles with the aesthetic movements of the past, with notions of ‘Romanticism’ and ‘The Sublime’ and their contemporary relevance. Her practice involves walking in and working from the land.

However, far from overwhelmed by the power of nature, she invites the viewer to pause and contemplate the importance of landscape and our profound relationship with it. This is especially apposite at this time of significant environmental change.

Words by Sara Lee:

This series of new work has its focus on the last light of the day – the golden hour of evening – across lakes, along the coast and to mountain ranges. Fed by memory as well as reality, each image is part imagination.

As an artist the environment is always present as a primary consideration – while walking and working from the land, to developing imagery once back in the studio. Responding to the ephemeral nature of landscape and questioning our profound relationship with it, especially at this time of ominous ecological change.
