susanne paull
transformative dialogue
In a world of contracted horizons, susanne found vast internal territories. These works, born in the crucible of early motherhood, map the infinite spaces that exist within apparent limitation.
Using materials at hand, transformed through rigorous experimentation, she creates images that collapse distinctions between scale and significance. What appears to be celestial might be cellular; what suggests interstellar space could be coursing through veins. This fluid movement between realms asks us to question not just what we see, but how we see.
The exhibition includes an evolving text rendered in chalk—its gradual transformation throughout the duration becoming its own meditation on presence, impermanence, and the futile grace of trying to capture the uncapturable.
These luminous forms, emerging from black grounds like ancient star maps or microscopic revelations, suggest that the deepest truths might be found not in expanding outward, but in attending inward with full presence. The domestic sphere becomes observatory, each moment of confinement holding the potential for expansion.
In this body of work, susanne joins those artists who have found universal truths in contained spaces. Yet she moves beyond documentation into a visual poetry where the tangible transcends itself. These images, neither purely photographs nor entirely abstractions, exist in the liminal space between observation and imagination.
The works whisper to each other across the gallery space, their quiet conversation revealing truths about time, perception, and the profound mystery embedded in the immediate. They suggest that perhaps the true nature of both motherhood and artmaking lies not in capture but in witness—in the radical act of looking deeply at what is directly before us until it reveals itself as infinite.
