Land Parcels, #8
2026
Sarah Delaney
Air-dry Clay, Alpaca Wool
10” x 8”
$350
For this series, the artist employs string, fibre, and wire as agents of tension and constraint, knotting them around various clay combinations to create indentations and markings produced through friction and containment. These materials leave traces of contact shaping the surface before it hardens. Each clay painting is wrapped and bound like a parcel: suggesting protection and care, yet simultaneously signals restriction and the assertion of control. By dissecting the clay, the artist imitates the ways land is inscribed with meaning. Land Parcels reflects on the human impulse to transform the land through acts of surveying, marking, dividing, and claiming. These gestures create boundaries resulting in territory control, which stand for larger systems of ownership, memory, and rupture that shape landscapes.
