Biography - Sarah Nicholson
Sarah has created drawings of the industrial
landscape for many years, using snatched glimpses from
trains or cars to make thumbnail sketches, which are
then worked up into large scale pastel drawings. The
work is bold and bright – celebrating this country’s industrial heritage and the many people who work in it.
Each work is Unison pastel on 300gm, decal-edge
watercolour paper and is supplied float mounted on a
neutral background. She would advice adding a deep 1 ¾
domed ash frame with hidden ribs to hold the pastel away
from the glass. Each work measures approximately 24x34
inches including the mount.
With the support of several local companies including
Tessenderlo, INEOS Fluor, INEOS Chlor and EVC, Sarah has
been visiting each site to gather sketches of the
buildings and structures. From these sketches she
creates framed pastel pictures for the exhibition.
We are all chemical creatures, our very lives are a
series of chain reactions, and Sarah is keen that this
element is visible in her work. The buildings that she
depicts are full of energy; the energy of the people who
work in them and whose skillful formulas make our lives
easier, healthier and longer.
Sarah sees the towers and spires of the industrial
skyline as enchanting, as magical and mysterious as the
processes going on within them. She hopes that her work
might open up some other understanding of industry, some
recognition beyond the reflex of rejection that many
people have. While she does not claim to comprehend the
processes involved in the creation of the chemicals upon
which our lives are so dependent, she does appreciate
the aesthetic of the structures that contain them and
her work celebrates another form of creativity.
Sarah has recently added MA in Fine Art to her BA (Hons).
