Sue Shields' "Remember Me" is a hauntingly beautiful monoprint that transports viewers into a mysterious underwater realm. This substantial work (80 x 106 cm framed) employs a mesmerising palette of deep blues and blacks, creating a subaquatic dreamscape where abstract forms appear to float and dissolve. Shields masterfully uses the monoprint technique to create varying opacities and textures—ethereal bubbles, shadowy cave-like structures, and luminous shapes drift across the composition like forgotten memories or ancient ruins. The title "Remember Me" adds poignancy to these ephemeral forms, suggesting themes of impermanence, the fragility of memory, and the way certain moments remain etched in our consciousness despite time's passage.
The Underwater Dreamscape
Displayed on a wall, "Remember Me" creates an immersive focal point that transforms a space with its contemplative depth and emotional resonance. The large-scale format allows viewers to be enveloped by Shields' enigmatic blue world, where each viewing reveals new details and relationships between the forms. This unique monoprint demonstrates Shields' exceptional ability to balance technical precision with artistic spontaneity, creating work that speaks to universal human experiences of remembrance and loss. The piece invites quiet contemplation, its watery blues bringing a sense of tranquility and depth to any environment while prompting deeper reflection on what we choose to remember and what inevitably slips away.
