As an artist my journey is always to transcend that which indisputably exists, to tug gently at consciousness and offer a glimpse of something more, to usher ever-forward the limits of imagination.

Mum’s Garden – Susan Keates
December 2024
In 2020 I went to live with my Mother back in the UK as she was declining with dementia. Whilst being there I set up a workshop in a shed at the bottom of her garden in which to work on my jewellery. Every day, with camera at hand, I was inspired to capture the beauty which she had created, as I walked through it to the workshop.
The space she made was peaceful and dreamy, and I found that a lot of my photographs reflected this feeling. I also bought enamel powders which matched as closely as possible to the colours around me and started to work on vitreous enamel jewellery designs.
When she passed in December 2023 it occurred to me that one way to honour her life and creativity would be to exhibit this work, which I see as a collaboration between the two of us.
