This work is part of Susie Dureau’s 2025 solo exhibition, Rhythmia.

“Spectrograms have played a crucial role in informing this body of work. By translating recorded pulses and frequencies into images, I have become attuned to an invisible reality that exists beyond human perception. These visual traces reveal the many ways that non-human species communicate. My paintings seek to echo this, offering a kind of visual listening, a space where sound and rhythm become visible. My works invite the viewer to sense the pulse of the earth, feel the unseen currents that connect us to the world, and experience the shared rhythm of body and landscape.”

“Spotted Dove is an homage to a particular bird who perches atop a fencepost each morning as I walk past. Noticing it led to deeper awareness—how much more I see when I slow down. In a world of speed and extraction, this painting offers a moment to pause, reconnect, and honour our profound interdependence with nature. The act of looking becomes an act of care, a quiet defiance against detachment. Through this work, I invite a shift in perception—a reawakening to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, not as something separate, but as an inseparable part of who we are.”
