Artist Susan Metrican explores motifs that have been translated across multiple formats; folktales, textiles, architecture, and small useful objects which allow the symbols and characters to connect and continue “traveling” through time and space. She considers the movement of interpreted ideas onto various forms across national borders and throughout history, and their shape-shifting reanimation as they introduce new modes of being. Fluid approaches to form, flatness and image address this multiplicity, as the artist’s lived experience mingles with her subjects’ own trajectories.
