Just to let you know for anyone who would like to stop in for a chat and see the show, I'll be in Oliver Sears Gallery this Thursday afternoon from 2 to 5pm, the last day is Friday 29th!
"Among the subjects that recur are the monumental Gomero trees encountered in the city centre.
Here, Walker extends her new methodology to organic form, constructing these living structures
through torn, layered paper rather than through the painterly language of her earlier tree studies.
The result is a compelling synthesis: trees that feel both assembled and alive, rooted yet
provisional.
Valparaíso Wear and Tear marks a significant development in Sarah Walker’s practice. The works
carry with them the immediacy and curiosity of discovery, while remaining true to her
methodology, the rigorous engagement of material, place and process."
