Sarah Nind was born in Borneo
in 1957. Before completing her MFA
at York University, Toronto, she received a Bachelor of Architecture from
the University of Toronto and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris.
Her work has been widely exhibited and has been collected by the Royal Bank,
Teleglobe Canada and the Univeristy of Toronto. She is currently slated
to be part of a touring exhibition with the Canadian Museum of Photography
in 2006. Sarah Nind combines painting and photography to create landscapes
that are real yet fictional, evocative and emotional. She first takes
a slide image and prints it onto a large sheet of Ortholith Film, then paints
the back of the
film with oil paint, thereby adding colour to the black image that is the
photograph. The sheet of film is mounted to acid-free masonite.
In this way she combines the purported certainty of photography with the deliberating
subjectivity of the painter.
