After a small stint studying fashion design, Sara Winfield, an
emerging Perth
illustrator and artist, gave in to the alluring and freeing nature
that is painting.
Her collaboration with It's Now Cool and 140 saw the launch of
her lastest exhibition,
'ACHROMOUS STRAND',
exploring femininity, fragility and the dreaming
world that exists when we rest. The paintings and large scale
illustrations look at
exposing females as objects of ethereal beauty; delving into the
imaginary and
sensory realms of our minds. Saturated with pastel and watery hues,
the works
seek to parallel directions in fashion and beauty. The amalgamation
of colourless
hair, contrasted against neon and pastel hued garments, gives the
'girls' an
otherworldly energy, extending our minds towards ideas of
detachment, aloofness
and our fascination with the dreaming world.
Exhibition viewings are by appointment only.
