In November while Artist in Residence at Joya Arte + Ecologica Retreat in Almeria, Spain, I had the time and space to think about how I used pattern in my work. In the stark, high altitude, arid autumn environment I observed subtle colour change as cast shadow and reflection. I thought how I could use these visual phenomena and other illusionary devices to extend my painted pattern from two to three dimensions. These works resulting of my investigations are currently on exhibition at Factory 49, 49 Shepherd St, Marrickville, Sydney until 24 May 2014.Gallery opens 1 - 6 pm Thursday to Saturday.  

New Work 12 Oct 12

Weathered at Tweed River Gallery

I am very excited to be exhibiting at the exquisite Tweed River Art Gallery with my great friend, colleague and collaborator Nicola Moss . The exhibition runs concurrently with the travelling exhibition of works from the Ann Lewin collection making it well worth the trip.

I can't wait to see the work Nicola and I created last year while we were in residence at Montsalvat finally hung in the space for which it was created.

I'm also delighted that  artist and photographer Carl Warner , who used to document my work when I lived in Queensland and whose work I greatly admire will be opening our exhibition.

House Keeping

As the heavy rain continues there is no opportunity to make new work with sun exposed cyanotypes so I have been doing some neglected 'housekeeping'. Last week I did my tax and I have been adding images of older works to my website. These works had to be deleted a few years ago when I had less space on the site and should have been reinstated last year.
In 2006 I had an exhibition at Metro Arts in Brisbane. The works shown in Cactus Milk were a departure from my usual concerns with identity and displacement and were inspired by my love of country music.

Susan Buret, Skin Deep, 2006, Gouache on Cut Tibetan Paper, 150 cm x 3500 cm.

Skin Deep was one of the works included in the exhibition and revisiting it makes me want to make more large scaled paper works.
