As well as being a floral photographer and author, Sarah Gardner is currently a part-time Fine Art Masters student at the Cambridge School of Art. Previously graduating, with a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art, from the Nottingham Trent University in 1995 Sarah is embracing a return to her creative studies. Investigative and experimental avenues form the foundation of Sarah's current work. Her abstract paintings explore a visual entanglement between universal consciousness and nature. New work addresses ideas of impermanence, growth and entropy whilst contextual framing suggests a bias towards environmental ecological, sustainability, and ephemerality.
Painting No:4 Impression 2025 | Water-soluble pencil and acrylic on recycled poly-cotton canvas | 135cm x 185cm,
Impression (Painting No:4) was born of transitional decay. Sunflower heads wilted, stems softened as foliage blackened upon the canvas. The resulting marks permeate the surface, allowing something new to be seen. Impressions outlined, space in-between painted to white, all before the canvas is returned to the garden. Here it will be left to weather the sunlight, wind and rain. Eventually bleached back to white the original marks, lost, returned. The impermanence of this piece is intriguing as entropy and ephemerality ask questions of what it is to remain and return in nature.
Examples of sketchbook work addressing concepts of entanglement through the body or universal consoiusness.
