Suzanne Knight - The Universal Language of Plastic

This small triptych is Suzanne’s first work in a Heallreaf exhibition, each piece is only 37cm high. Suzanne is from Australia and practiced as printmaker for many years and in 2016 attended a summer school to learn tapestry weaving and has focused on tapestry ever since.

Suzanne weaves with 2ply wool, cotton, metallic or bamboo threads and begins by capturing the shapes and colours in a simple gouache painting, which then informs how she mix the blends of coloured yarn in the tapestry to give illusions of form in her objects. Her tapestries are often small shaped soft sculptures, which stand on a shelf or plinth and are free of the wall.

Her work depicts still life images of objects, vessels, food, packaging and memories of childhood in suburban Sydney, and explores themes such as containment versus the uncontained, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, and an interest in what lies between and beyond the tablecloth, the sea and the shore, between language and cross-cultural engagement.
