"A part of my series reflecting on mood and emotion through use of colour and glazing."
“Let us carve gems out of our stony hearts”, once wrote the 13th century Sufi poet Rumi. Reminiscent of this gentle edict are Sarah Rachael’s paintings that display sparkling new possibilities of paint, all in the name of compassion and connection. Rachael’s pieces refract and layer colour as a gemstone bends and disperses light, unlocking an inner ‘fire’ and allowing for a unique viewing experience. Pieces draw inspiration from nature and its metaphorical overtones, as well as Rachael’s own inner conflicts and passions. This culminates in fiery works that change according to viewers and their own temperaments, like mood rings, they reflect something new every time.
