This body of work is inspired by the impact<br />

of exterior light on interior spaces and the<br />

blurring of boundaries between our exterior<br />

and interior lives. The series title comes<br />

from Bachelard’s text on the value of home<br />

to fortify and nurture.<br />

SUE MANN<br />

Sheltered Dreams<br />

Charcoal Drawings<br />

Diptych 32cm x 25 cm each<br />

The process begins with gestural marks<br />

made in response to patterns of light.<br />

These inform the abstract structure of<br />

the drawing, as charcoal is worked into<br />

translucent paper in layers.<br />

Presenting the work in rhythms of light<br />

prompts further conversations between<br />

the two double sided drawings. Aspects are<br />

revealed while others recede, becoming<br />

obscured.<br />
