"ALL THE PLACES I’VE BEEN WITH YOU"
About the Artist
An award-winning English artist, Sarah Lockwood-Taylor has produced work in a wide range of media, but she is best known for the work she does with linocuts.
Sarah has spent time living in 6 countries. She has used her surroundings, family, lifestyle, and love of animals as inspiration to create a series of linocuts that are vivid, dramatic, alive, and forever capture the unique bond that exists between animals and their human friends.
Linocuts are a block printmaking technique in which a design is cut into a linoleum surface.
Artist Statement
In my linocuts, I want to bring alive the true meaning and deep connection we have with our horses and pets. To capture these feelings for a lifetime. I have such a love and passion for animals and the gift they bring us. The way they make us humble.
Although my work includes many different mediums, I have found a passion for linoleum. It’s so expressive and dynamic- just like our horses and pets! My work work has always been large scale. This translates well to linocuts, but that’s quite unusual for this medium. But I feel it lends itself to these large powerful creatures.
To carve in Lino takes time and patience. I enjoy working with the many contrasts it offers- depth, light, space. These combine to create character, power, uniqueness and a deep connection with the work. You never know exactly where the form takes you but it’s always exciting and rewarding to do the first hand pulled print.
work intertwines personal experience, historical philosophies, literary references, political commentary, and musings of what may exist on a larger metaphysical level.
