States of human condition are addressed through symbols of electromagnetic wave forms, housing structures, forests, characters, and landscapes, among other things.

I like thinking about energy waves getting mixed and tangled within cell phone signals and natural phenomenon's such as the Aurora Borealis.

Sarah Gamble makes work about connection. Tapping into the electromagnetic spectrum that connects us all, Gamble paints both what is invisible to the human eye—radio waves, color spectrums, particles—and that which is visible—stormy gray skies, mountain ranges, lone forest shelters, radio antennae. These individual images, symbolic in Gamble's lexicon, unify in dramatic landscapes. She repeatedly works the surface of the canvas to create a psychic and very physical space. With the repetition of imagery, she is creating her own symbolic language. —Jenelle Porter
