Photopolymer gravure with chine collé and hand-colouring, edition of 2 A/P’s, 48 x 39.5cm
Suzanne Moxhay’s complex images use archival or newly-taken photographs as their starting point. Combining a variety of low and high-tech techniques, her digital photomontages and etchings explore interior and exterior spaces that, in the artist’s words, ‘feel as though they have broken down and perhaps been re-claimed’.
Suzanne’s practice is informed by the theatre of film-making, and strong light sources play a key role in creating drama. New life is breathed into deserted scenes by encroaching foliage or startled birds; often an uneasy sense of stillness prevails. ‘Woods’ is part of a series of works that feature chine collé (an intricate Japanese collage technique) and watercolour on selected areas of the surface. Suzanne describes the scene as ‘a fictional place which is informed by my interest in horror films and the uncanny. It depicts the dark edgeland around a suburban neighbourhood. The point of view suggests an establishing shot with a sense of narrative potential’.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
