Sue, Beardman

Artist Statement

Sue is interested in how we connect, cope and exist in the world. Most projects come back to that whether at an individual level, with another, in local communities or more broadly. Often many or all of these levels are at play.

At a more visceral level, her practice explores how ideas translate through design, the material palette and the tactile nature of turning these ideas into physical form. The connections that are made across pieces in each stage of making contribute to meaning within her work.

Key to her process, Sue writes to distil ideas and inform design development.

Originally from Boorloo/Perth, Sue now lives and works on Gadigal land in Sydney’s inner west.
