“ Susan Rosenberg has always been interested in how she might visually express fragments of memory: whether in the ethereally anonymous human figures of her Mirages exhibition, or her latest work of plants and flowers. As with the figures, these are not flowers that can be named and pinned down, specified or identified. “They come from the recesses of the past,” she says, from travelling perhaps, when you glimpse a field from a train, or maybe the flowers that you see at a wedding. They get tangled up with previous experiences – flowers at births, or marriages, or deaths – the colours in the thread of memory.”
Justine Picardie from the essay in the Still, Life catalogue 2003
