Susie Dureau

'The Keeper' is an atmospheric meditation on the ocean as a vessel of memory, connection, and continuity. The work considers the sea not as scenery but as a presence, an enduring keeper of human traces, rhythms, and stories. Within this fluid space, the painting reflects on the ways human experience is held, carried, and reconfigured by larger natural forces.

Susie Dureau’s oil paintings, light installations and spectrogram collages are portals into other worlds: worlds where reality and imagination are interchangeable. She ‘feels’ as a way of thinking, using her primary experience of the natural world as a guide. While her artworks are landscape-based, they invite non-literal interpretations about light, colour, and energy in the landscape. They point to the wildness and primal nature in humankind. Her current investigation explores the forces that bind humanity into an intimate reciprocal relationship with the more-than-human world.
