Sara Lee – ‘Ley of the Land’

Ley of the Land: A Walking Journey Through Seasons
Sara Lee

This beautiful new publication is an evocative visual record of Sara Lee’s work following her residency at the Rabley Drawing Centre. Through drawing, print and photography she reflects on the nature of landscape in contemporary practice and celebrates the changing light and seasons of the rolling Wiltshire downs.

Sara Lee first joined Rabley Drawing Centre as Artist-in-Residence in 2013. She relocated from her London studio to the rural environs of Home Farm and Rabley Drawing Centre, spending time in the landscape each month. Inviting an artist to spend a year with us, visiting and revisiting this place throughout the seasons, is like planting a crop. She is now firmly established in the stable of artists at Rabley Contemporary. So the seed that was planted in 2013 has become a perennial, returning each year with fresh growth and ideas for new drawings and prints.

EXHIBITION ASHMOLEAN OXFORD

William Blake: Apprentice and Master

This major exhibition focuses on the extraordinary life and work of William Blake (1757–1827), printmaker, painter and revolutionary poet of the prophetic books. It examines his formation as an artist, including his apprenticeship as an engraver, and his maturity during the 1790s when he was at the height of his powers as both an artist and revolutionary poet. The exhibition also explores his influence on the young artist-printmakers who gathered around him in the last years of his life, including Samuel Palmer, George Richmond and Edward Calvert.
