(Canada)

Sara Hartland-Rowe is a painter and installation artist living in Halifax, Canada. Her studio activity is engaged with the perceptual instance that happens between states of blindness and knowing, specifically the flash of perception that occurs before naming begins, but after one recognizes the material presence of things. In this moment, discrete objects and the spaces between them can be seen as a single totality. To remain in this moment of perception is an effortful process of resisting the shortcuts of everyday vision, but one that allows for the world to be experienced as a brief vision of wholeness. Sara has exhibited her work across Canada, and in the US, Europe, and South America.
