Artist's Statement

Susie Leahy Raleigh’s work consists of vibrant aqueous surfaces created by pouring inks on to acrylic frames. The pouring process is of paramount importance as she is forced to abandon control and be open to spontaneous happenings, which allow the paintings to create ‘themselves’. Pouring also expresses fluid elements that convey energy, passing of time and movement.
In these new paintings Susie has endeavoured to be more adventurous with her pouring techniques. By encouraging the inks to flow freely the colours naturally blend and create subtle tonal qualities in the work.
The paintings are informed by a personal response to atmospheric events, light and the experience of phenomenological consciousness.
