Sarah Murray is an emerging artist based in Canberra, Ngunnawal and Nambri country, working primarily in drawing and painting. Her work explores a bodily experience of landscape, engaging the body within the time, space and place of the land. Murray’s pulsating and immersive works utilise the process of indexing, shifting grounds and changing perspectives to create an embodied impression of space, time and place. Her work explores the material quality of painting and drawing and her use of gesture and mark-making act to both describe form and to create an index of the physical act of painting and drawing. Her work critiques the patriarchal and colonial paradigms in traditional landscape painting which seek to assert power over landscape and distance the body from the space of the land, rather, she conveys a symbiotic connection between the body and the place of landscape.
