Sarah Poland - Artist - Painter

Sarah Poland Artist · Painter · Printmaker

Summer still,
In the feline hour of prowl.
Light wakes my sunken head
And drifts it through the morning.

Soft sounds on my skin.

Before dusk,
With a scare, out of some field,
Above in synchronicity flowed.
White and black,
Dark and light,
Seagulls and crows.

Some divine vision of peace and loyalty.

Along blackthorn bridal pathway
And coconut scented briar,
The wandering moonlight waltzed.

Delicious cool air bathe my skin
And let my spirits ride your route to the stars.

Dense scented heather mor,
With hollow ancient earthen pathways.
Guide me to an understanding,
Deeper into the distant land.

O' dreamer of dreams,
Sing the song of the wildwood.

From exhibition catalogue Either Side Of The Night, 2008

London Art Fair 2008: "One of the strongest works exhibited by a Cornish gallery (Belgrave Gallery, St Ives) had to be the rugged scene in oil entitled 'Mountain Pass' by Sarah Poland. There is something of the wrestled drawing process of Bomberg or Kossoff in her landscape paintings which arrests the eye and brings you back time and again to the best of her pictures." - Henry Garfit (Founder/Director, Newlyn School of Art) - artcornwall.org
