Sarah Praill
£0.00
Sarah Praill is a London based artist exploring ways of embedding presence within a surface through drawing, painting and print making. It is an archaeology of feeling and locating through the process of making.
The sensation of the tool or material and how it is held with the surface is a driver. A mark feels like a letter in the landscape of encoded things.
This recent series ‘Thought Forms’ are Monoprints using oil based inks and water soluble pencils. A sharp nail has been scratched into the surface of old etching plates. Frets and worries are like the sound of a needle on a record when you remember something you wished had n’t said or don’t wish to remember. The figure came from an ancient bronze sculpture from the Ashmoleum Museum. The inscribed marks are from wall drawings photographed on rural houses in Egypt that she photographed many years ago.
Sarah Praill has an MA in Fine Art from University of the Arts, London and has been a participant of the Turps Mentoring Programme for the past three years. Last year she was awarded an a-n Artist Bursary to study fresco techniques in Sardinia. A background in book design for the Fine Art publisher Thames and Hudson informs her thinking. She drew for many years in the British Museum with the Royal Drawing School and has been a member of HAUSPRINT Studio in Stockwell since 2017. She won the Intaglio Print prize and has exhibited in London, Italy and India.
