Sarah Holland’s work explores the female experience and response to the injustice presented by existing within a patriarchy. She creates portraits of women that depict emotions or events that for one reason or another have been veiled or silenced. Taking figurative forms and abstracting them, Sarah uses disrupted realism as a metaphor for the contradictions of society and the chaos in expectation verses reality. She uses painterly techniques such as washes to build layers and depth to emphasise the idea of a veil or a filtered reality.
