ATMOSPHERE AND NARRATIVE IMBEDDED IN ABSTRACTION
Suzanne A Bartlett has done the work of an artist from her earliest memory. Taking necessity as an opportunity for Art – making, she developed a talent for learning new skills in vernacular settings; silk screening, interior design, marketing and newspaper, image, production, brought her to a focus on Women’s Work, the materials they manipulate – cloth, paper, bits of string, and glues that hold them together– are a recurring subject seen, especially in women’s work, her white Washed textile painting series. Bartlett is a locally famous baker of breads and maker of costumes. She holds a BA from Lehigh University Art & Architecture program, earned while making a family.
In her new Forest Women Series, she employs new approaches to her decades, long interest in layering images and symbols in a variety of mediums. Best-known for her sculpted textile paintings and assemblages that provide engagement with a history of women’s working lives. She brings to this new printed series, totems and talismans, made of vintage dresses, paper, castings, lace, antique pattern, tissue, and found bits.
