Sarah Lincoln: Note-taking at Low Tide

Friday 5th February

Screening/sound piece/talk 1pm

Free admission

Over this lunchtime presentation Sarah will display a collection of fragments which she gathered along a high-tide mark after a recent winter storm. These oddments have been treated in a variety of ways – including being dipped in gloss paint, fired in a kiln and aligned with unlikely pieces of music. These transformed fragments will be re-presented through a short sound and screen-work.

Using photography, video and time-based presentations Sarah Lincoln's work seeks out inconspicuous, yet disquieting realities made evident in the landscape. Her work responds to particular ways in which the natural world has been categorized and managed, her work-processes often usurp mundane forms and gestures.

More recently Sarah has used video as a way to explore local geographies; employing techniques associated with collage to suggest alternative histories – both local and geologic – to dig beneath our surface landscape in an attempt to present a more complex understanding of a locale.
