Each painting invites the viewer to a ‘Call to Adventure’ in the Cascade Range. Are you ready to take a journey to the Edge of the Wild?
IInspired by the geology of the Cascade Mountain range in Edge of the Wild, her new solo exhibition at Foster/White Gallery, Sarah Winkler further explores landscape in terms of the distinct layers that she is known for. She depicts the overlapping, collage-like terrain as a textured rise in elevation, with lower and middle elevations covered in coniferous forests, waterfalls, wildflowers, while higher altitudes evoke meadows, alpine tundra, and glaciers. Winkler mimics the process of erosion by applying paint onto wood panels, then sanding back through layer after layer. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, she pays close attention to borders, boundaries, and edges. Viewers get a sense of the landscape adapting and transitioning, beckoning toward adventure and exploration.
