About Me
- susannoble
- I have always taken a multi disciplinary approach to my own practice, but at the core has always been drawing. For me, drawing is the visualisation of internalised information and the processing of visual data and stimuli. My research has been concerned with the familial environment and the ‘home as studio’ that many women work within. This has led to an exploration of drawing expressed through traditional domestic craft, through stitch. Working with textile techniques allowed the drawing to become more substantial, the means by which the representation of something is transposed into a physical object. There is substance in fabric, depth and richness of colour. Beyond the materiality of the artifact there is still the idea, concept, gesture, message. The work made, whether with scissors or stitch, is all created with rescued materials. I enjoy the challenge of creating harmony from disparate oddments of paper and fabrics that have had previous lives.
