Susan Adams is an artist working in Brecon, South Wales. She has recently completed a project interviewing people who hear voices and producing interpretations of what they told her.
She writes: ‘I am interested in the locations where the organic and the mechanical find an uneasy relationship. My recent project with people who hear voices resulted in a book They Leak Through Me, and took me further into an enquiry into the giving and receiving of information in the air. One of the voice-hearers I interviewed felt almost like a receiver that was picking up other people's thoughts accidentally on the airwaves. Talk to Me is from my current series of paintings, prints and sculpture in which satellite dishes and telecommunications masts rise from the ground like hermits looking to the sky for celestial knowledge. They also transmit, and in this image with its echoes of the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden, we might wonder where this particular knowledge is taking us.’
