Twenty-Six Seconds presents a collaborative exhibition led by contemporary artist Susie Dureau the 2025 recipient of the Artist Residency Program at Eramboo Artist Environment in Terrey Hills.  

The exhibition explores the Earth’s rhythms through sound, light, and pigment. Unfolding within the expanded field of Painting, this cross-disciplinary project bridges painting, sound, and sonography, capturing fleeting moments of the landscape in and around Eramboo, adjacent to Ku-Ring-Gai National Park.

Collaborating with two emerging artists, a musician, a sonographer and a scientist, Dureau translates scientific data into immersive, sensory artworks. By merging disciplines, Twenty-Six Seconds seeks to reveal something previously unknown, offering new ways of perceiving time, space, and our place within the natural world.
