Sue Lansbury
The natural environment and the knowledge that
nothing stays still are the predominant and recurring themes
and inspiration for my work
.
So, I explore the symbiotic
relationship we have with our environment using
different scales
and a range of materials to establish a sense of context within time
and space. By mixing the scale in which I work - for example, large paintings, and small sculpures - I enjoy creating a sense of presence and vulnerability.
My fascination with landscape can be traced
to early
childhood memories of the fens surrounding
Cambridge and the
beauty of the city’s architecture.
Later, moving from East Anglia to West Dorset, I
discovered very
different patterns, contours and
boundaries.
After studying Fine Art (sculpture) at Kingston-upon-Thames,
I returned to Dorset and a career in Education
which
led me to Dorchester, and then to the Isle of
Purbeck,
where I live and work today.
In addition to creating and showing my own work, I also co-run
Mindfulness and Creativity Reteats in various venues around Dorset.
