Sara Marlowe Hall's latest body of work explores the landscape as both a physical environment and an emotional terrain. Working with layered plaster, pigment, and paint, she creates richly textured surfaces that evoke weathered earth, shifting horizons, and changing light. Moving fluidly between abstraction and representation, Hall's compositions are inspired by quiet moments in nature, transforming familiar landscapes into contemplative spaces shaped by memory and atmosphere.
Rather than depicting specific places, Hall invites viewers into imagined environments that encourage reflection and stillness. Hall's tactile process—building, scraping, and layering plaster—echoes the rhythms of erosion and renewal, allowing each painting to become both an object and a landscape. Together, the works offer meditative explorations of perception, presence, and the enduring emotional resonance of the natural world.
