When the pandemic hit I decided to use materials I had on hand. I sewed scraps of old shirts onto topographical maps and printed on the combination. My practice seemed out of time and place and I felt free to explore color and texture in ways I hadn't before. In the process, I spent time looking closely at the maps. I noticed the playful nature of the names of places and geographical features. We seem to long for familiarity with the land by how we name places, it is a similarity I find akin to the way I relate to my body.

Susan Smereka was born and raised outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and now has lived in Vermont, USA for over thirty years. Smereka graduated from Concordia University, Montreal with a BFA in 1994. Whether working at the etching press with ink and collage, writing and bookmaking, or video installation, Susan is interested in the concepts of disorganization and order around experiences of inner experiences and those of family relationships. How these, seemingly opposing energies reconciled, or not, continues to spurn her artistic process for 40-plus years. Smereka co-founded 'new new art studio' in 2020 with her partner Kevin Donegan. 'new new art studio', Burlington, Vermont, is a space for teaching, exhibitions, and the creation of fine art.
