When this tender, behind-the-scenes look at Sarah Cain's Highland Park home and studio, begins, she's taking down her 15-foot mural, "Runaway," installed in the DTLA's Farmers and Merchants Bank for Painting in Place. The grace of Cain's goodbye fits perfectly with the painter's commitment to experimentation and nonattachment in her work and in life. She compares her studio practice to her four feral cats: "loving something means accepting it's going to leave when it wants to. Accepting your lack of control." Cain is after work that breaths. Her palate is informed by her first memories of color: exuberant yellows pulled from hot air balloons, purple ribbons from the county fair. She finds form through materials, whether they're "super femme" craft supplies like lanyards, feathers and plastic beads, or canvas, stretcher bars, and paint), and she imbues these would-be "stupid ideas" with a studied ease and delicate glee.
