SARAH KELK | Hunting Collective

It’s no secret that I have a big creative crush on Sarah Kelk. I have had the pleasure of working with Sarah together with her sister Helen, through their homewares brand Hello Polly and Sarah was the first artist on my list for this years Hunting Collective collaboration. Her artwork makes me feel at peace. Perfectly balanced colours and shapes manage to float in front of you whilst fixed in place. Much like her personality, her work is open and invigorating.

I visited Sarah in her home studio in Carlton North, the only sounds that can be heard are the weather and the school lunch bell across the road. Her space is littered with imagery, neatly arranged or tucked away for future reference. Her studio is cosy and welcoming with a comfortable couch in the perfect position to watch Sarah paint, which I did. I was surprised to watch how Sarah starts her paintings – extremely quick with dry layers of paint, Sarah builds on each layer without a moments hesitation and lets the markings dictate its direction. Sarah brings this signature style to her clock creating a layered patchwork of the most perfect of colours.
