Sarah Jarrett’s gently intriguing, melancholy collages combine strong color, imagery from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and a fabulous sense of surrealism. She is highly prolific, with a profusion of emotive collage works. Transposition, juxtaposition, silhouettes, and flowers all play a large role in her work. Lovely and mysterious and musing, the many layers and textures of her ethereal world draw the viewer in to its sense of tragic intimacy.
Jarrett is also an impressive painter with an astonishing talent for conjuring the atmosphere of a landscape. I particularly love her winter paintings, almost palpably drenched with gloomy mists yet a dreamy radiance.
