​Sgraffito
an exhibition by Susie Woodbury
5 September - 26 October 2024
Susie gained an Associate Diploma of Fine Arts and a Certificate III Studio Ceramics from Illawarra TAFE in 1980s and much of her career from there was connected with teaching and practicing art in various forms. Her printmaking, ceramics and painting with acrylics have featured in exhibitions in Hornsby, Leichhardt, Bowral & Robertson.

"Sgraffito conveys my attempt to process an eclectic string of thoughts, observations and inspirations including the colours of ethnic  art, carpets and  textiles; studies of modern Indigenous art; objects around my home; family events; my decorative ceramics background; my printmaking background; and my travels. But this recent body of work mainly expresses my love of colour. Layers of bold, bright acrylic colour are overlaid with dark blue, red and white paint and then scraped back in a sgraffito technique which I often used in my days as a ceramic artist. 

I have also included in this exhibition a small number of hand painted monoprints and photopolymer prints.The hand painted monoprints were produced last year whilst I was visiting Sumba Indonesia. They are my interpretation of motifs used in the Tenum Ikat weaving process which was the focus of my trip. The photopolymer prints, some hand painted, are influenced by the works of Picasso and Matisse."
