Sara Juel Andersen is a visual artist living and working between Copenhagen and London. In 2020 she graduated from the MFA Fine Art Programme at Goldsmith University, having previously achieved a Graduate Diploma in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art. Working primarily with oil painting, drawing and ceramic sculpture, I create work that explore the otherworldly liveliness of nature as well as the subtle hints of control that humanity exerts over our environment. One of the main aims of my practice is to investigate, how our human experience of the environment fluctuates between the romantic and sublime contra the eerie and uncanny. Through layered oscillating colours and wobbly forms, I aim to capture the fluid movement of seemingly alien waterscapes. My work is informed by an interest in our subtle and subconscious responses to our environment. This exploration is influenced by the ideas of eco feminism, which explores how patriarchal ideas of Nature has led to an othering of the environment. In which, we as humans see ourselves as rational, sentient, and active compared to the wild, irrational, and passive nature. This rationality is similar to the justification often used to suppress women and people of colour. This interest is expressed through works that attempt to undermine a conventionally romantic perception of nature. In recent work I have also been playing with diagrams and cartography to explore the simplification and rationalisation placed upon our environment.
