Susan Ferrari Rowley
AMERICAN SCULPTOR
My process and medium is welded aluminum and hand sewn fabrics combined in post-minimal sculptures that deal with human emotion. Line, space, and form interact equally in these opposites of hard and soft materials. The interior and exterior of each form, and the negative space in and around each sculpture are equally critical. White and translucent, they react to changing light with interior and cast shadows that are part of their visual complexity.
The appearance of improbability and the defiance of gravitational pull, challenges the viewer, as forms lean, suspend, and exist on minimal support at will. It is form as meaning.
I experiment with spaces I am given, developing statements with line, space, and dimensionality, creating transformative dimensional experiences relative to the ceiling, walls, and floor.
