Sarah Douglas
Sarah Douglas graduated from the RCA in 2005 and has since exhibited in Purdy Hicks gallery and Inhabitants as part of the Zoo Art fair 2009. Douglas makes paintings, drawings, collages and etchings. Her work is about bringing into being a very personal subject matter, through an engagement with materials and the act of making. Through an open-ended exploration of the real and the imagined, the representational and the abstract, forms emerge that demand to be worked with and resolved. The starting points vary from images and objects to abstract forms and spaces, but the aim is the same – to invest the material with a psychological and emotional charge. This charge goes on to create a pervading atmosphere around the work of tension and disquiet.

Douglas's work is united by a fascination with how inanimate objects and images attain personal and emotional significance, and how this significance allows them to transcend their ordinary physical make-up and become sacred for an individual or group. Her practice explores how this process of transformation is able to unlock the imagination, generating internal symbolic imagery and narrative.
