For this week\u2019s Director\u2019s Picks, Sarah reflects on how environment can imbue you taste. In this case, it\u2019s sun, sea, and a different tempo that have caught her eye. \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week\u2019s artwork selection has been informed by my recent week away in the sunshine on the beach: experiencing a certain saturation of colour and light, as well as distinct shadow and silhouette. Being outdoors all day long, the change in tones of light and shade as the day evolves: all these atmospheres and visual elements have informed this selection of artworks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their context is also the personal transformations that can more easily occur in a new location with space and time, away from all the familiar sights and sounds, to reflect on life. Jessie Taylor\u2019s \u2018Ego Death\u2019 is a strong piece. I think we might see exciting things from Jessie, and I\u2019m also really enjoying Catherine Morgan\u2019s \u2018Re-Read\u2019: you can see her trademark clear boundaries have taken on a playful, deliberately missed registration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturated colour and optical illusions are drawing my eye \u2013 like with Sara Willett\u2019s \u2018Rolling Blues,\u2019 which of course is resonant of the sea. The warm water of a swimming pool outdoors \u2013 so inviting, perhaps even more so in the rain \u2013 as in Charlie Yates\u2019 \u2018Kalk Bay\u2019 and Rhianna Mone\u2019s \u2018Blorenge H\u2019. The latter reminds me of the surfboard aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, the one reference to being indoors: Tyler Watson\u2019s \u2018A Change in Light.\u2019 This painting encapsulates the contrast of coming inside at the end of a full day outdoors in bright light. I hope you enjoy experiencing these summer-inflected works by New Blood emerging artists.<\/p>\n\n\n
