Sue Hamer
Painter
My work consists of small oil paintings on board, canvas, and paper. I like the intimacy of working on a reduced scale and the concentrated energy that can emerge.
My recent paintings focus on isolating often overlooked subjects, such as weather balloons, insects, and children’s paddling pools. Working from both found and original imagery, I reframe and crop compositions using techniques borrowed from film and photography.
These fragments are translated into paint through a restrained palette and muted tones, creating still, quiet spaces that hover between familiarity, memory, and strangeness.
