How that happened?<\/span><\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I have been making art with <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/item-fabrics-3.5-silk-chiffon-by-the-meter_0_0_2_56_19.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">fabric<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> since I was about 10 years old. I won a place at London\u2019s top architecture school and was taught by some of the best tutors and professional architects in Europe. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The teaching methods<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> were intense and demanding and I learned how to translate a high concept into a workable design. But my heart wasn\u2019t in it. I found the discipline of architecture  too far  from my passion for shape and colour. Intent on continuing with a structured path to an art career, I changed course to graphic design. After working as a designer for a few years I began to invest more  personal time into my fabric art. In 2007 I found gallery representation in Los Angeles and I have been working as a professional artist ever since.<\/span><br><\/p><br><br><p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">You chose to follow the path of geometric abstraction. What fascinates you about this artistic language which transforms objective reality into something else?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">My work is fundamentally geometric because of my technique &#8211; simple shapes, like squares and triangles are easier to cut than organic shapes. These shapes then become the building blocks which I appliqu\u00e9 to a backing cloth to create a work of art. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">It&#8217;s an improvised process<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">, like painting or collage, enabling the gradual build up of colour and texture. I have no interest in simply recreating a subject. My fascination lies in recreating a subject as I remember seeing it, layered with the memories and ideas it evokes. I try to conjure emotion through colour and manipulate composition to suggest familiar forms and landscapes, making it accessible for others to see what I see.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sarah-symes-tessutie-astrazione.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><p>\n<br><\/p><h2 class=\"gmail-p1\" align=\"center\">Sarah Symes and design stages<\/h2><p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">What are the most important stages in the creation of one your works?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The four stages of my process are: design, dyeing, making and finishing. All are important and together they are the technique that I have been refining for over a decade. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The design stage involves<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> researching, sketching and working up ideas. The dyeing stage involves washing, bleaching, painting and dyeing a supply of fabric. The making stage is the longest part involving ironing, cutting and sewing hundreds of pieces of fabric to make up the design. Some of my projects follow the design with precision, others are more intuitive and allow room for freedom of expression. Finally, the finishing stage involves carefully stretching the fabric over a wooden frame and attaching the hanging hardware. Each piece is a unique, gallery quality work of art.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">\n<\/span><br><\/p><p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The Havana Streetscape  series is an explosion of pure joy! Would you like to tell us about it?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Havana left me with a lasting impression of spectacular decay. Its ancient core is a half-crumbling, half-restored patchwork of colourful streets dating back to the origins of the new world. I spent time experimenting for this series, revisiting my photos and sketchbooks, striving to distill Havana into its simplest forms. Eventually I began layering the dominant scene colours in vertical strips to create a sense of depth and perspective. This resulted in a rhythm of shape and colour that was recognizably Havana. <\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I used a top stitching technique<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> to further soften the colour contrast and create a wrinkled texture reminiscent of the crumbling stonework. Each piece depicts a street scene, but I have also tried to capture the ambiance of the city as a whole.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dhgshop.performize.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sarah-symes-tessuti-eastrazione.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><br><\/p><p>\n<br><\/p><h2 class=\"gmail-p1\" align=\"center\">Sarah Symes &#8211; favorite subjects<\/h2><p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Landscapes are among your favorite subjects. What landscape do you hope to be able to see and portray in one of your works?<\/span><br><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">I would love to visit Antarctica. I have seen spectacular mountain ranges in Canada and they have given me a taste for more. The Rockies are a natural landscape so remarkable, they deeply touch all who visit. What is it about soaring rock faces, vast icefields and perfect blue-green lakes that transfix us with its beauty?<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> Antarctica is<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> surely the most extreme mountain landscape on earth and I think being there would inspire important questions about humanity and result in a powerful series of artwork.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"gmail-p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Looking at your works and your life choices, one has the impression that you have a deep connection with Nature.
