Subterranean Hunger conjures a universe that moves between the sensual and the mythological. In her works, Sara-Vide Ericson brings together different worlds and realities in an imagery where she explores identities, rituals, and transformations. What at first appears to be a recognizable landscape shifts when the works are viewed as a whole – the focus then drifts toward an inner, mental landscape. Ericson’s works point to humanity’s deep connection with the earth we live on: how we occupy and subjugate it, but also how the place, in turn, lays claim to us.

 

To be fully present is to manage to exist in uncertainty and mystery, to hang on the edge.

– Sara-Vide Ericson

Sara-Vide Ericson’s figurative painting draws inspiration from her surroundings in Hälsingland, Sweden. Her images depict marshes, waterways, forests, and valleys – a landscape interwoven with her own lived experiences. Through a performative working process, she embodies different characters and stages the scenes before painting them in carefully chosen locations.
