ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I feel that we all carry with us an unspoken and sometimes unknown history. Without trying to understand it, I seek to transform. By using family photos and letters in addition to different papers and collage materials I save, I cut, sew, and print the pieces. A quarter almond shape, which I use to represent humans energetically, is part of a whole. That part can be connected and be part of something bigger or not. Family and their dynamics guide my work; our ancestry, which seems precious, is continually altered by the introduction of new people into a family (marriage, adoption, divorce, children out of wedlock, etc.) In printmaking and collaging, family connections are complex and at times messy. I seek to reveal the intrinsic patterns which reflect their beauty. Frame 18h x 23.5w”, Artwork 14h x 20w"

Susan Smereka
United States
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.
