Exhibitions in 2021
Figurative Art Now an online show celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Federation of British Artists will include three of my drawings. The show will be launched on Wednesday 7 July and be available to view online until Monday 20 September. I will add a link here once it is open.
Postcards for Perec at the Bower Ashton Library, University of the West of England – a collection of images created in response to one of the 243 postcard messages written by Georges Perec to his friend Italo Calvino in 1978. It includes my postcard created in response to the message: ‘Our motel’s name is La Tagada. Peace and quiet, and all that. There’s a two-star place not far away where the guests are a bit much, boo sucks! Kisses.’ Because of CoVid19 the display is only accessible to staff and students of UWE from 1 June to 31 July 2021. A full digital catalogue is due to be published later in the year.
Royal West of England Academy (RWA) Open Exhibition 2020 my drawing ‘portakabins, Clapham Junction’ has been selected for this show. The organisers still hope that the exhibition will take place ‘in real life’ at the RWA in Bristol, from whenever Covid19 restrictions allow, possibly in February, through to 11 April 2021. Before then you can view all the work online.
Still available:

CV
Su is exploring her life-long interest in drawing, making books and textiles. Her work explores the connections between current and past selves, and the role of memory and construction in the narrative of our lives. In looking at the multiple ways we present ourselves, she is influenced by the perspective of being a twin: always together yet always separate.
She completed the MA Drawing course at UAL Wimbledon in September 2017, and previously studied under artists including: Jeanette Appleton, Clare Bryan, Sarah Bryant, Tony Hull and Lin Kerr.
She is a member of HB Drawing.
