Sue Bradford

I am a Northern California artist working in oil, mixed media, and encaustic, as well as printmaking in monoprint, solarplate and chine colle.

Ideas I connect with and bring into my work are:

Temporal change - the changes in an object or idea that occur over time, changing the meaning or the object or idea
Mapping (timeline, cartography and topography) - a means of showing change in a time, height, distance or relationship
Iconic forms (house, dress, body) - recognizable forms with universal meanings which evolve in context to present new definitions
Letters, words and text
Stitch, line and thread

I merge together a sense of place and journey, composing a story through layering information, color, text, transparency and opacity. My work evolves in layer upon layer, message embedded upon message. The viewer journeys through the layers of information to form their own experience with the work.

Please contact me for information on specific pieces and studio visits.
