Sarah Burwash Draws “The Summit”

I’ve been a fan of Sarah Bur­wash (pre­vi­ous­ly) for years now, ever since I saw her ceram­ics appear on Buy Some Damn Art (I am the proud own­er of one her lim­it­ed-edi­tion hands).

She’s released a new series of draw­ings titled The Sum­mit, which are sprawl­ing works where each com­po­si­tion has a lot going on. We see peo­ple and ani­mals inter­act­ing with the great out­doors, and I love the the free­dom she exer­cis­es with her water-based medi­um. If you look at the detail shots below, you’ll see the rocks and how she uses a wet-on-wet tech­nique to let the pig­ment go where it may.
