From A Safe Distance

Sarah Louise Hawkins is an artist making sharp-edged and precise abstract works exploring the spatial and optical capacities of shape, pattern, line and colour. The work is always non-representational and often self-referential. Shapes and patterns from one work will inform and inspire the composition of the next. This symbiotic relationship sees patterns, colours and forms appearing and transforming in a multitude of ways across painting, sculpture and drawing.
