“Suzanna Vangelov brings a deep embodied knowledge to her practice that ties together her way of being in the world and approach to making. For Vangelov, these modes are indistinguishable.” - Nikki van der Horst
LIGHT

DARK
The work begins where I don’t know… the work becomes my way of understanding.
‘The space between the space’ has intrigued me for as long as I can remember. I awaken everyday to curious forms of morning light created by the complex network of elegant and impressive limbs of the canopy of Grey Gums enveloping my home.
Fascinated with the negative space, I am deeply curious about what lies within and beyond our perceived reality.
Abstraction, materiality and space are the building blocks of the work. My process is both instinctual and intuitive, I draw by cutting directly into the canvas, in a process of material transformation.
Materials from both natural and industrial sources are utilised, inviting associations and the raw qualities to become the work.
