GALLERIES MARCH 11 Kayaking to make repeatedob- servational studies in the remote sea-caves of the North Cornish coast that form the subject matter of her latest exhibitions ( Maas Gallery ), there is, in the sense of personal risk andclose attention to detail, something of a 19th C. topographical/Ruskinian tradition about Sarah Adams’ approach to her art. The handsome, substan- tial paintings that emerge out of the large, studio-completed works are far from laboriously detailed though, rather, full of very cont- emporary feelings of these havens andshelters as sites of childhood memory, of adventure and wonder.
