Susan Flavell’s new work is the most impressive piece of art we have ever shown in this space – visitors are in for a shock and a real treat.
Sabine is the name of Susan’s newest creation, a massive werewolf. Created from cardboard, she leers menacingly at passers by, daring them to enter the gallery.
Susan loves working with cardboard, stating, it “is my favourite material; it is possible to make almost anything out of it. Like drawings, the cardboard works are sketched, drawn and redrawn, showing layers of structure, lines, marks, texture, glue, and mistakes. Through the manipulation of the cardboard I am interested in creating a sense of life in the work, and the experience of modeling cardboard on such a large scale becomes a struggle between the artist and the apparent ‘agency’ of the work.”
Susan has paintings and sculptures in collections such as Art Gallery of WA, Murdoch University, Curtin University, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Central TAFE and the University of WA. Susan is also the current Mark Howlett Foundation recipient: www.mhf.asn.au
