About:
Artist Susan Hutchinson
Penland School
of Crafts, North Carolina, 1992
BA/Sculpture, Berea College, Kentucky, 1990
I produce a
variety of contemporary, functional items for the home and
garden made from metal (mostly wrought iron), and sometimes
mixed media. My scale ranges the whole gamut, from tiny hooks
to large architectural installations. Large pieces are
generally one-of-a-kind commissions for private clients, and
smaller pieces are often the result of several years
development of a particular theme.
While function
is always important, line and form referencing an organic
emergence of movement and time are the visual subjects of my
work. This lends a natural connection to the historical
periods of the early 1900's Arts and Crafts movement, Art
Nouveau, and later, Art Deco.
