Susan Moore


Using nothing more than a red pencil, Susan Moore created an entire gallery of thought provoking drawings on canvas.  Ranging in size  and intensity Susan's artwork  creates an almost addictive feeling.  At first look, the work appears ordinary and monotinous.  But as you walk through the gallery you begin to notice subtleties and minute details that had avoided being noticed until just the right time.  It is then too late, you are standing there for what seems like two minutes, but in all actuality is an hour.  In my favorite peice, Pilgrim's Pride, Susan jabs the super company and attempts to create a slight sense of awareness of the brutality of animals.  She seems to use alot of negetive space to make the viewer choose what should go there, forcing the work to mean something different to each person. 
Susan does alot of sculptures and in sculpture, one does not usually include a head, and the influence is obvious in the work.  Susan more explained in the meet and greet that her work is simply her way of expressing memories and experiences in life, mostly concerning her role as a mother of four.
