A Mixed Playlist Inspired By: Sarah Davidson

Artwork: Sarah Davidson, wonderland, 2017 (ink, watercolour, pencil crayon, and oil pastel on paper)

The art of Sarah Davidson, our Featured Artist of September, folds words onto worlds, amalgamating natural, often botanical forms with unnatural figures. Bloops and blobs, if you will. I love ‘em.

That’s why I was so excited to create a mixed playlist based on Sarah’s work—there’s a lot to take inspiration from! I interpreted the figures in her piece, wonderland (2017), as being in the midst of a dance, perhaps one that follows the quickness of improvisational jazz and also the soft steps of an evening lullaby. Opposite ends of the spectrum, I know. But somehow, these abstract forms can keep each pace. They’re a good-natured bunch, I feel.

Love,
Sarah B.
