Susanne Khouri: Wish You Were Here or Everything Will Be Alright
October 10, 2015 @ 2:00 pm - October 28, 2015 @ 3:00 pm
Susanne Khouri: Wish You Were Here or Everything Will Be Alright
10 – 28 October
Opening in the Small Dog Gallery as part of Artweek Auckland
Saturday 10 October 2 – 3.30pm
In these works Susanne Khouri has used weaving as a mode of expression for her printing practice. Weaving requires patience and dedication in order to create the whole. You add one strand at a time with the shuttle on the weaving loom.
Khouri has adopted the same concept with her works, using printmaking to create lines of colours and shapes. Be the work abstract or semi-abstract, her intention has been to “weave” a mood with vertical and horizontal lines. Her images are screen-printed on canvas, silk and paper.
Susanne Khouri’s training as an artist has taken her from many years of part-time study to a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Auckland University, where she majored in Printmaking. Khouri has her own printing studio at home, working towards exhibiting once per year and sharing her skills teaching screen printing at Lake House Art Centre in Auckland.
