Sara Kerry & Jessica Wilson : Lonely Long Feet

26 Jun-25 Jul 2015

Overview

Although Kerry and Wilson are very different painters, drawing is central to the making of their paintings. In Kerry’s case, drawing principally finds, loses and reclaims an idea/image that sits on and in the ‘painting’, and by so doing creates a suspended domain of space that has a poetic charge. In Wilson’s paintings, shapes, patterns, minimal fields of colour, calligraphic design, and decorative repeats are committed to the surface by intuitive drawing, and then responded to, like a game realising its own rules.
