Sketch One - Reflections of Ancient Women - Original Mixed Media Sketchbook Pages
Title: Sketch One - Reflections of Ancient Women, a sketchbook series from 2018 - 2023
Sketch One, is a meditative piece created by artist Sarah-Lambert Cook. This unique artwork is part of a series of original mixed media sketchbook pages, each offering a glimpse into the artist's contemplative exploration of European Paleolithic cave art and the remarkable stories of ancient women.
Within the dimensions of 5.5 x 8 inches, Sketch One reveals a silhouette of a female torso. Delicately adorned with a pastel negative handprint stencil, reminiscent of markings discovered in Ice Age caves, it transports you to a realm of mystery and connection. The composition also features intriguing dots and a "house-shaped" symbol, motifs that recur throughout various caves in Spain and France.
Sarah-Lambert Cook crafted Sketch One as a visual response to her immersive research on Paleolithic cave artists, with a particular focus on the intriguing possibility of women artists playing a significant role. The piece captures her contemplation and invites viewers to join the exploration of a narrative that celebrates the presence of women in our ancient history.
Created on sturdy, acid-free watercolor paper.
The hole-punched edges, reminiscent of their original sketchbook origins, add a touch of poetic authenticity to the piece, serving as a reminder of their shared narrative and journey.
Whether you choose to frame Sketch One, embracing the evocative hole-punched edges, or opt for a seamless presentation, this artwork stands as a testament to Sarah-Lambert Cook's ongoing contemplations from 2018 - 2023 of women in the paleolithic.
