Susanne Klein is a printmaker and a fellow of the Institute of Physics. Her work focuses on the reproduction of memories and dreams with an emphasis on colour. In 1995 she became a Royal Society Fellow at the University of Bristol where she worked on 19th century optics. From 1998 until 2017 she was employed at Hewlett Packard Labs and specialised in liquid crystal display technology and new materials for 3d-printing. Colour has always been key in her research. From 2018 until 2024 she was an EPSRC Manufacturing Fellow at the Centre for Print Research with the task to resurrect forgotten photomechanical printing methods of the 19th century which gave her the tools for her artistic practice. The ‘Dreaming of sunshine’ series tries to recreate the colour of dreams by photographing a scene through a red, a green and a blue filter. The time delay between the images causes movement, i.e. time, to be recorded as colour. The prints are non-halftoned screen prints on black paper using structural colour pigments. The shifting colour observed when moving in front of the prints evokes the fleeting colour in dreams and memories. She exhibits regularly nationally and internationally and has been curating the printmakers’ exhibition at the University of the West of England for the last 6 years. She speaks regularly at international conferences about her artistic practice. The latest conference was Helsinki Photomedia 2024.
