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.
This exhibitionexplores the various outcomes derived from introducing simple adjustments to the surface colour and outlines of a geometric form. While each piece adheres to identical overall dimensions, the perimeters differ, the black contours referencing the two-dimensional line drawings the shapes originated from. The laminate material provides an even surface texture and solidity of colour, while the black edges outline each form, clearly defining each different configuration and delineating colour in space
