Susie Dureau’s oil paintings, spectrogram collages and light installations are portals into worlds where reality and imagination merge. Her artworks are landscape-based although they invite non-literal interpretations about the unseen forces that bind humankind into entangled relationships with the more-than-human world. Susie asks us to ‘feel’ as a way of thinking, by using our primary experience of the natural world as a guide.

Lapping captures the ephemeral dialogue between water and shore, rendering the rhythmic meeting of land and sea through a palette of cool, tranquil hues. Inspired by the gentle lapping of waves along the shoreline, Susie transforms the sound’s undulating patterns—visualised through spectrograms—into a composition that merges the precise language of sound data with the fluidity of personal emotion. Lapping evokes the soothing interplay between the natural cadence of water and the artist’s deep connection to the coastal environment.
