Susan BorthwickSusan Borthwick is a local artist who uses figurative sculptures to reflect her life experience. Susan works with a mid range stoneware clay, fired in an oxidation electric kiln.
Susan finds it impossible to separate who she is from the art she creates and many of her sculptures speak to her experiences as a woman and a mother. Most of her sculptures are hand coiled although she occasionally alters wheel thrown pieces. Texture and detail are very important as she uses a variety of clays, slips and stains to bring her people to life.
