About Susan

 

Originally from Zimbabwe/Rhodesia Susan has now set her roots firmly on British soil.

 

Susan creates wonderfully graceful forms and canvasses using the natural flowing forms of fabric allied to the imaginative use of resin all of which have an individuality and presence all of their own. 

 

Susan has always let her intuitive-self guide her through various mediums, including watercolours, weaving, ceramics and now fabric. Always learning, experimenting, evolving and living in the now,

 

As Britain’s leading fabric sculptor, her unique creations are an interesting contrast to more traditional sculpture, statuary and wall art. Her bespoke works are created by combining pre-formed structures with wet, resin-soaked fabric which is used as a fluid and flexible skin for the three-dimensional 3d wall art. It dries to a hard, subtly sensuous and tactile finish.


The resulting work is full of contradictions: serene, alive, whimsical, surreal, mundane and full of vitality, all at once. It revels in its medium, but goes beyond what one may expect from fabric. Its exquisite detailed folds and drapery supports the bold energy of each artwork.

 

Susan has exhibited at many major events and has completed well in excess of a hundred private and public sector commissions. She is held in a number of private collections across UK, Europe, Australia and America.
