Investigating the life of things across space and time
Drawings, screenprints, lithographs and 3D collages by Sarah Gillett (2013-on going)
The old fart in Room 17 is becoming a problem. He does it even when his wife’s on the terrace, sweating, counting her rosaries. Clack-clack. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Ah, Mamma, what would you say if you could see me now? Four stringy children and a fat pig of a husband who belches triumphantly after every meal and snores all night. Clack-clack-clack.
A visual diary of a journey into the unknown, made during an artist residency at the University of Calgary.
This conversation between Sarah Gillett and the writer Amy Lay-Pettifer digs deeper into the artist’s relationship with Paolo Uccello’s painting The Hunt in the Forest (1470) and her wider art practice.
As if standing in front of a green screen this mysterious figure invites us to imagine a space in which anything is possible.
