“Nature is the thread running through everything I make. I work with the idea of Anima Mundi, a spirit inside nature that connects all living things. With these prints, I pushed the materiality and process further than I have with my other editions, working on metallic paper and hand-flocking each print myself, one at a time.”

– Sarah Fairchild

About the Artwork

Haystack is pleased to present two new 16-color silkscreen prints by Sarah Fairchild — Queen Anne’s Lace II  and Chicory II — a pair of hand-finished works inspired by the artist’s Flower Remedies series.

Created on foiled silver metallic paper, Fairchild brings an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and intimacy to both editions, incorporating hand-drawn films to add new layers of mark making to the work and treating silkscreen as a painterly medium. The bold, unexpected colors emerge from a direct response to the reflective surface, while hand-applied velvet flocking creates a striking interplay between texture, light, and color.

Curator's Note

Chicory II connects to a memory Sarah Fairchild has carried since childhood — her grandfather, who spent years pulling it by hand from the fields he worked hated them, so she thought she had to dislike them too. But she never stopped thinking how beautiful they were.

Coming back to chicory on her own terms became an act of individuation—a quiet reclaiming of her own point of view. The artist’s personal history is distilled into bold, unexpected color and layered form, with the flower appearing as the main subject across both foreground and background, and woven together through its buds and leaves at varying stages of growth.

Rooted in Fairchild’s belief in Anima Mundi — the spirit connecting all living things — Queen Anne’s Lace II and Chicory II invite viewers to experience the familiar with a renewed, child-like sense of wonder, transforming two of nature’s most overlooked wildflowers into extraordinary subjects.
