Private View : Branches at Dusk by Sarah Boulton
Join us for the opening night of Branches at Dusk by Sarah Boulton at Studio KIND.
Sarah Boulton is interested in paying attention to things that are fleeting and unseen, and to finding poetic ways to engage in this sensibility. The works she makes are often ephemeral or changeable in nature and they exist in the world in ways and materials that echo this liveness.
The works in the show bring together on-going ideas around invisibility, presence, imagination and play. They are informed by Sarah’s practice as a parent and as a forest school leader, where she works with young children in the woods. Some of the works here are off-shoots or day-dreams of previous versions, as she moves through life with her work, instinctively following its lead. ‘Branches at Dusk’ takes its title from one of the works in the show, where Sarah walks at dusk into the woods near her home after storms and high winds and collects fallen branches.
As a part of the exhibition, Sarah will include some spoken-word artworks that will be told to visitors, live in the gallery space throughout April. We are inviting participants who are interested in being part of Sarah’s work and willing to speak some of these text pieces live in the gallery space. The works are short and simple to remember. Please email laura@studiokind.org.uk for more details.
