Sarah Bedford’s Fangs and Fruits, and Falling Trees intertwines still life and landscape with necropastoral influences, exploring cycles of decay, regeneration, and memory. Using gouache studies translated into layered oils and pastels, she conjures hybrid flora—orchids, cocoons, thistles—suspended between life and loss. Her mineral-rich palette and hallucinatory forms evoke unseen vitality, geologic time, and nature’s fragile yet transformative power.
