Geological processes and Earth time are the main themes in Sue's work. Her images resonate. Fragments of time wrapped in accumulating layers, history unearthed by erosion.
Sue has long had a fascination with physical geography and maps. Having grown up in Cornwall, a place where there is a wealth of very different landscapes, she was immediately interested, fascinated and amazed, not just by its beauty but the stories the landscape has to tell.
In 2001-2002, Sue participated in the MA Contemporary Visual Arts program at Falmouth College of Arts. She took this opportunity to explore her interest further, resulting in a collection of fabricated core samples titled 'Deposits'.
These striking and unsual images were produced by taking close up photographs of these core samples she made during her MA. The outcome has been an original series of images titled 'Earth Stories'.
Presented here reversed mounted onto Perspex Wall Hangings. The 10mm thick Perspex enhances the colours, definition and gives the whole piece a luxurious feel. The stylish fittings enable the artwork to stand proud from the wall and light to interact with the space around. The overall effect is modern and simply stunning!
