Separation In The Evening
Separation in the Evening (a celestial blossom before the yellow house) is a ten-foot-tall outdoor sculpture by Sara Barker, commissioned as her first permanent work for Jupiter Artland in 2015. Fabricated from an intricate arrangement of brass and steel rods, the piece brings Barker's characteristic fusion of sculpture, drawing, colour and light into the landscape.
The work was a landmark moment in Barker's transition toward large-scale exterior sculpture, extending her painterly sensibilities into three dimensions. Its title, adapted from a 1922 Paul Klee painting, signals the cross-disciplinary movement between painting and sculpture that defines Barker's practice. The sculpture's delicate branching forms and subtle colour shifts evoke watercolour landscapes, while also reflecting influences from Japanese artist Hiroshige.
Set within Jupiter Artland's evolving natural environment, the piece responds to changing light, seasons and spatial perspectives, revealing itself differently throughout the year.
