Sarah Walker’s acrylic works on paper and panel are a complex mix of abstract shapes, organic patterns and intricate geometric structures. Walker is interested in how we scan and process information overload nowadays. Her lattice-like structures suggest blood vessels or crystals and rocks. In her words “I intend my paintings to operate as tools for perceptual recalibration. In them conditions exist for the viewer to process several systems at once. Patterns and diagrams found within the sciences, nature and architecture form the basis of imagery.” Walker lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. See more of her work at sarahwalker.org
