Sara Lee, The Crossing, intaglio and wood block, 25 ½ x 31 ½ in. framed, ed. of 40, $4,000 framed
Born in Wales in 1956, Sara Lee lives and works in London. Rooted in a landscape tradition, Sara Lee’s work is a response to the ephemeral nature of terrain; a gentle and evocative connection between what is known and what is imagined or remembered. Intrigued by the paradox of landscape, seemingly permanent, yet constantly evolving, her images pursue a resonance that reflects the insignificance of the individual when in witness to an exterior space. With a studio and site-specific practice Sara Lee predominantly works with drawing, film and print, including etching and woodblock in the ukiyo-e tradition, all with a focus on landscape. She teaches at The Dulwich Picture Gallery, has written for Tate, and advised & spoken on print processes for various individuals and institutions including The Art Fund, The Royal Academy Schools, Hatton Gallery and Tate.
