About the Artist
After completing her BA and MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice at Falmouth University, Susan moved towards London in search of new creative opportunities.
Since then, she has worked with a number of printmaking studios including; Typoretum, Bainbridge Studios and more recently East London Printmakers where she currently works as the Studio Manager, Workshops Coordinator and Tutor.
Noticeably, Susan’s work centres around exploring the dynamic mass of water that exists as our oceans. Teaming with life and for ever changing with the seasons, our waters provide us with a wealth of stimulus and thought provoking content. Up until now, her work has primarily focused on the aesthetic elements of this aquatic environment. However, in this modern age of shared information we are becoming more and more aware of the dramatic impact our 21st century lives are having on our Oceans and the most apparent of these is plastic pollution.
2019 will see Susan begin a research project on Microorganisms living within our oceans, namely algae and bacterias. What are the effects of plastic pollution on these single and multi-celled organisms? How might they be adapting or deteriorating? And, what might the knock on effects of these microscopic changes be to our larger marine environment?
