If we care enough to see

One of Susan Hurrell Fieldes' prints in an upcoming exhibition...

it was in the early hours he called

‘turn the television on

a plane

has gone into the twin towers’

my work comes out of the tragedy and horror of 9/11

with the shock and disbelief

i found

oddly

there was a sense of beauty in the images transmitted

across the world

this lead me to consider the idea of the inviolable

and perceived strength of such structure

but also others

such as relationship

i began to explore the tension between strength and

vulnerability

between pain and lightness

the strength that can mask fragility

the pain which hides beauty

to me, the most important element is line

and what it is capable of expressing

in terms of connecting

dissecting

and intruding

structures have many layers

most of them unapparent

at first glance

however

glimpses of them are there

if we care enough to see
