Structured

​

Monochrome 2021

​

Susan is interested in the way in which a model or plan can simplify our perception, and can evoke in us a sense of potential and possibility.  One that emphasises re-invention and change rather than fixed concrete results.

​

Her work is informed by an interest in architecture, minimalism and psychology.

​

Working in series, she employs planar form and geometric abstraction as a visual language with which to explore compositional relationships -

pairing opposing elements with the aim of finding unity within the whole.

​

Susan creates simple, constructed sculptures in porcelain and embossed collagraph prints.  Cutting is used to define structure, and re-arrangement of form allows for a direct use of void space.

​

Boundaries are an area of interest between 2 and 3 dimensional form, the material and the interaction the work has with its environment through light.

​

It is Susan's intention that the work retains a raw materiality and a transparency of making process.  Her aim is not to create an image, but rather to isolate a moment within a process of continued transformation.
