Suzie Idiens is interested in the subjective nature of perception and the paradox that arises when viewing reductive abstract art – the effects are self-referential and rational while simultaneously evoking a visceral experience. By methodically questioning the effects of adjusting geometric form, repeatedly manipulating its shape or frontal plane, and restricting the use of applied colour, she asks how the sum of these actions will impact the viewer's experience of the piece. Her aim is to balance intuitive decisions with formal concerns of line, form, colour, finish and spatial composition.
This exhibition explores the various outcomes derived from introducing simple adjustments to the surface colour and outlines of a geometric form.

Construction / reconstruction: In Uncertain Times
Susan Andrews
30 July – 16 August, 2020
In Uncertain Times conjures a situation where systems and structures once familiar are thrown into in a state of flux. While uncertainty is a constant throughout our lived experience in its current form it has caused us to reconsider our relationship between private and social space. The work developed for this exhibition explores how familiar and dissimilar perceptions of space might coexist to reform and create new meanings as old conventions are reframed and questioned
Susan Andrews has exhibited her work in commercial galleries and artist run spaces for over 25 years. Her work has been exhibited in major curatorial exhibitions and art prizes. Andrews is a Lecturer in Painting at the National Art School Sydney.
