Artist statement:
Microbes, billions upon billions.
A planet teeming with microscopic lifeforms all vying to reproduce, or to find a host.
The ‘spillover’ is when one jumps species…….
Bio:
Susan Videler gained a Fine Arts degree in painting and a master’s degree in jewellery at the Dunedin School of Art while teaching night classes in life drawing and jewellery. In 2018 she launched a communal workshop, Alloy, in central Dunedin where seven contemporary jewellers create in diverse ways. She is a member of ‘Guild’, a retail collective in Dunedin and has worked at Fingers, Auckland.
Accepted into HandShake 6 in 2020 she chose Iris Eichenberg as her mentor.
Susan often engages with the body in her practice, jewellery being a tactile vehicle to express observations about existing in the corporeal -the spiritual, the physical, the mental, the abject, the unexpected, and the divine. Humanity provides a never-ending source of fascination and inspiration for her.
