Suzie Lockery: Spatial Shift

SALA exhibition August 1 - September 30, 2021

Exhibition launch August 14 at 3pm

with guest opening speaker Emma Fey, Chief Executive Officer - Guildhouse

Suzie Lockery is an Adelaide based, multidisciplinary artist working across the fields of drawing, painting, printmaking and installation. She considers her art practice to be a meditative process that provides a site for personal cogitation and reconnection, especially amid our hyperconnected existence. 

Through the application of intricate line work and spatial bands of layered colour, Suzie creates an inherently topographic visual language with the intention to convey a sense of transience within her work; reflective of our constant shifting physical and metaphysical ‘landscape’.
