Artist Sarah Praill discusses the ideas and archeology behind her exhibition “To carry a feeling” at HAUSPRINT.
“I felt like I was in multiple spaces at the same time – the studio, my source material, my paintings – and I really lost myself in the process of making. I had this epiphany that if I inhabited my paintings long enough then the experience of looking at them would contain the dysphoria I felt, because that’s how art works, it’s a sort of a mirror.”
“It’s all because I want to see myself, I want to see those unnoticed moments, how they pass by, what is really happening. So that makes the work very personal.”
“I love drawing really quickly. I love drawing in really difficult situations. I love drawing in the dark. I like what happens when you can’t see everything or when it’s passed and you have to remember it rather than drawing what it actually looks like, so it’s about the experience of looking as much as what I’m looking at.”

The image that Europeans had of the Caribbean for the first four hundred years after the Spanish arrival there in 1492 was either from descriptions in the journals and publications of other European visitors or from the art of engravers, woodcut artists or painters, many of whom had never been there.
These images initially showed a region that was peopled with naked (and therefore primitive) and – even worse – cannibalistic savages. The images gave Catholic Spain and the Pope all the permission they needed to convert and enslave the people there….
