Myopic Books presents a selection of new prints
and assemblages by Susan Clausen. The principle
of juxtaposing elements is present in both the assemblages
and the linoleum block prints, where Clausen patchworks
an image from many individual blocks. A visual narrative
evolves as relationships are formed between the
linked images. Though images are repeated, each
print tells its own story. Each piece suggests its
own meaning, and each of them, as the title says,
is not like the others.
As
the artist says, “I feel best when I am engrossed
in making something. I explore ideas and materials
while letting my mind wander through the process.
Using found and constructed objects, I create relationships
between them that suggest a story, event, or feeling.”
Susan
Clausen has lived in Providence for 25
years. She received a BFA in light metals from the
University of Illinois in 1980 and has continued
to make artwork using many mediums throughout her
artmaking career. She is one of the original members
of AS220,
a non-profit art space in downtown Providence and
is currently employed as the building manager for
AS220’s three buildings.
