Susie Wilson trained as a printmaker and for the past twelve years the book form has been central to her work. The discipline of this form enables her to combine printmaking with 3-dimensional structures and to use layers that can interplay one with another. Susie\u2019s work has a longstanding concern with narratives (sequential and accumulative) and with the self-documentary impulse. It has drawn on diverse external sources \u2013 historic, architectural and anatomical \u2013 and has frequently been informed by the particular medical challenges faced by her family. Her recent work looks at the fragility and strength of the human body \u2013 things hidden and revealed with traces left behind \u2013 transforming these ideas into small-scale objects of delicate complexity. Working on a small scale has been important, fostering an intimacy between the viewer and the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susie graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1992 with a BA (Hons) Degree and PostGrad in Drawing and Printmaking and was awarded scholarships to Athens School of Fine Art (1990) and Seville School of Fine Art (1992). She was selected in 2001 for the Creative and Technical Skills Programme, Print Studio, Dundee Contemporary Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
