Unique Work

Sarah Praill is a London based artist exploring ways of embedding presence within a surface through drawing, painting and print making. It is an archaeology of feeling and locating through the process of making. The sensation of the tool or material and how it is held with the surface is a driver. A mark feels like a letter in the landscape of encoded things. This ghost print 'Thought tree' was made using oil based inks. A sharp nail was incised into the surface of an old etching plate. Thoughts can feel like the scratch of a needle on a record when you remember something you wished had n’t said or don’t wish to remember. The image is part of a recent series of monoprints called 'Thought forms'. Sarah Praill has an MA in Fine Art from University of the Arts, London and has been a participant of the Turps Mentoring Programme for the past three years. Last year she was awarded an a-n Artist Bursary to study fresco techniques in Sardinia. A background in book design for the Fine Art publisher Thames and Hudson informs her thinking. She drew for many years in the British Museum with the Royal Drawing School and has been a member of HAUSPRINT Studio in Stockwell since 2017. She won the Intaglio Print prize and has exhibited in London, Folkestone, Paris, Rome and Calcutta. She belongs to Hyphae Drawing Collective and the recently formed group Unprimed.
