B-Side Ecology (solo show)

Hong’s Foundation for Education and Culture
Taipei, Taiwan
21st September – November 2008

Accumulation, transformation, detritus, debris, everyday materials are all recurrent themes in Susan Stockwell’s work. Meticulously hand crafted, the benign sublime beauty in Susan’s work belies the devastating effects of our culture and our role in shaping it. Look more closely, and one is confronted by a cultural urgency of global-proportions. Political and cultural colonization, globalize waste and consumption are reconfigured by Susan’s work into a new festering eco system of meaning that slowly seeps like the rising ocean level.
