Susan Berry

One of my earliest memories is of playing in my father’s workshop, aged about five, and using offcuts of wood, sawdust and glue to make little houses. When staying with my grandfather I made constructions out of dominoes. 

At art shcool I started to respond to abstract forms, which has always continued in my constructions, but now I am really interested in how my unconscious percolates into abstract form.

Inspiration comes to me at moments when I am least expecting it, and I often find myself caught unawares. In antithesis to normal design practice, I often discover the meaning of what I have made after the structure is complete.
