Susan Laughton

The landscape is my starting point, not as a picturesque view, but as a space travelled through and experienced often on the edges of the urban and the rural. It is a source of man made and natural structures, surfaces and colours from which I construct my own pared down responses. I make drawings of remembered details seen from the corner of my eye, fleeting juxtapositions elusive to photography or more studied compositions. My paintings contrast intentional marks with random scratches, washes of paint with fine layers of plaster, gesso or card.

I worked in architecture for twelve years before returning to college to study art - graduating in 2002. I am currently based at the Electric Picture House Artists Co-operative in Congleton and have exhibited throughout the UK.
