Form is interesting, the energy that animates that form even more so.
Painting the lost, the silent,
the invisible things.
Listening to languages
we don’t speak anymore.
art + science + glyphs + biota + music + machines + ephemera
SUSAN WASINGER takes inspiration from things all-too-often overlooked in our busy life.
The pas-de-deux of a gear, the wagging tail of a letterform, the paradiddle of a seedpod,
the twirl of a melody, the armature of a mountain, the breath of a wind, the twinkle of a grin.
It is these things, hidden and unbidden, that populate her paintings, allowing the eye to dance and
to linger on the energy and impulses that animate our world.

Oceania
The mysterious worlds under the sea have their irresistible siren song. The water itself feels like a sentient being.
Sketches + Experiments
Works on paper, small impulsive things. Ideas that are just starting. Impulses captured on the road.
