About this artwork
The image sent me was from ’Newnes’ Pictorial Knowledge Encyclopedia, Volume 9, June and Robin learn Geography From Lake to Ocean’. It depicts a river running out to sea through a seemingly tranquil valley. I live off a long dirt road, surrounded by natural beauty, far from the madding crowd. But I rely on travel to connect regularly with my family, scattered from Singapore to NY. In this year of isolation, with travel an impossibility, the longing for a river to carry me out to sea and land me on the other side of the world has never felt so keen. With danger and evil lurking behind every move, I am left to stand on shore and imagine the embrace of loved ones. I lieu of an embrace, I watch the pink clouds in the evening as they make their way towards night. I stand firmly planted and wait for the stars to come out and transport me.
About Sara
I am a mixed media artist living on a small olive farm in northern Spain. I was born in Tokyo, Japan, carry a US passport, but consider myself a citizen of the world. My creative practice is merely an extension of my global view, a language to carry me from place to place. I hold a Masters of Fine Art in painting, but my interest has always been in mixed media; paint, textile, craft. As a five year old, sitting in a stiff backed chair in a convent in southern Spain, I was seduced by the great peace and joy the internal world of artistic expression offers. One can travel anywhere in the world and connect through art. One can gesticulate their way through a ”conversation” with another human who is brought to tears by great beauty, by the creative voice. Color, texture, composition, subject matter, all these elements hold universal meaning.
