my practice

My practice includes visual art, writing and making. Through collage, sculpture, textiles, jewellery and essays, I explore questions of the invisible, memory, materiality, repair and the ways that objects, places and stories carry meaning. All of the processes inform each other, what is remembered, what is carried and what is remade.

about

susie jane duggin is an artist and writer whose practice moves across jewellery, collage, sculpture, textiles and essays.

her work explores the relationship between material and meaning - how objects, images and words can hold memory, invite reflection and make visible what is often overlooked. Drawing on years of experience across the arts, research, and cultural leadership, her practice brings together making and thinking as interconnected ways of understanding the world.

working with bold forms, quiet detail and carefully chosen materials, susie creates works that balance strength with restraint. whether through an object, an artwork or an essay, each piece seeks to open a space for curiosity, connection and repair.

at the heart of her practice is a belief that art can help us pay closer attention - to ourselves, to one another and to the stories carried within the things we make and keep.
