Notes
Suzy Moxhay is a Chelsea College of Art painting graduate who went on to The Royal Academy Schools where she graduated with a Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art in 2007. Her works have been exhibited widely and are held in many prestigious collections including The Royal Academy of Arts, The Cooper Union New York, the Lodeveans Collection and Oxford University. The artist has also featured in numerous publications and arts programmes including the Financial Times, the Guardian and the BBC Culture Show.
Drawing from an archive of collected material, Suzanne Moxhay creates intricate and complex photomontage images. She builds up the image in her studio using cutout fragments of source material which she makes into small stage sets on glass panels. The artist then re-photographs the sets and manipulates the images digitally. This becomes an act of reprocessing which takes them further away from their original context and broadens the narrative potential. Her source material is drawn from an archive of collected imagery, from mid-20th century books and magazines to contemporary found photographs as well as her own photographs and paintings. She plays with anomalies – of texture, surface, depth, space, scale, movement and architecture – to involve the viewer in the construction of the image, and to make them question it.
'Arboretum' is a constructed lightbox by the artist.
