STATEMENT

All of Susannah’s artwork comes from her deep desire to transform ordinary things. Though source materials vary—originating from industry, retail, or the home—her work is always the result of tactile experimentation in the studio. By applying the simplest connections, like stuffing, stacking, folding, and stringing, she generates clusters, piles, and blobs, not to mention the errant suspended line, showing that spectacular results can come from the humblest of origins.
