Susie MacMurray
Resonance examines the complex relationships between Susie MacMurray's drawings and sculpture and how an engagement with materials is central to her work. It is through her choice of materials that she searches for ways to explore the paradoxes that exist within unpredictable, arbitrary and volatile personal/public life experiences.
Drawing is an important part of MacMurray's creative practice. In addition to her elegant pen and ink works she extends the possibilities of making drawings using unconventional materials including rubber tubing, hair, wax and discarded strings from musical instruments.
MacMurray's work encompasses drawing, sculpture and site responsive architectural installations. A former classical musician, MacMurray retrained as an artist, graduating with an MA in Fine Art in 2001. She now has an international exhibition profile and shows regularly in the USA, Europe and the UK.
