#2 Tools for Daily Living
Artist: Susan Low-Beer
Work ID: 18761
Description: The tools for daily living referred to in the title of this work represent aspects of our insides, the internal organs, bones, muscles and nerves that allow our bodies to function outside our consciousness and our control. Once the idea was formed I set parameters to give structure to the series¿size of paper, found objects, and clay figure. The resulting work is multi-layered visually and metaphorically and each separate part is charged through its marriage with the other elements of the piece.

Description: The tools for daily living referred to in the title of this work represent aspects of our insides, the internal organs, bones, muscles and nerves that allow our bodies to function outside our consciousness and our control. Once the idea was formed I set parameters to give structure to the series¿size of paper, found objects, and clay figure. The resulting work is multi-layered visually and metaphorically and each separate part is charged through its marriage with the other elements of the piece.

Camouflage III
Artist: Susan Low-Beer
ID : 72651
Description: Outside my backdoor, on a particularly windy day. a piece of wooden siding blew up against my leg. On the way to throwing it out, I placed it down on one of my worktables, looked at its beauty and began to wonder. For the past few years I have been combining clay forms with other materials- metal in one series, Japanese paper in another. Could I create a sculpture with one of my clay figures and a found object? Thus was born a series of explorations. The two pieces in this show are extensions of this search, moving further into mixed media combinations.

State of Grace An Installation
A blue tinted magazine photograph of a young child jumping inspired this body of work. She was suspended in mid air; the muscles taut with purpose, her gesture free and joyous. Initially it was the action that attracted me. How to create movement and lightness? As I worked, more ambiguous worlds started to take shape. The indeterminate quality of the figures that exist in a space before birth or after death, or in the dream world of childhood before rationality takes root.
They hover at that mysterious border separating the familiar from the obscure, a space of open possibility. Jumping up but coming down, spinning outward but meditating inward.
I set out with no more than those intentions ..., I see in looking at the piece, against the backdrop of the others in my studio, that I am drawn to such liminal spaces, where opposition balances into stillness, yet might pull apart into multiple directions at any point. The figures are jumping up, but coming down; the concentric circles around their bodies spin them outward and also inward. Each is alone, heading in a slightly different direction; yet they are an ensemble, in synch. In their mass, these ethereal, ephemeral spirits achieve substance and presence. Seemingly blind, their bodies barely nascent, they embody both vulnerability and power, energy.
I would not make large philosophical statements out of these observations, and I hesitate to try to do so or to lead the viewer. Suffice to say that my goal was to capture something of the eternal dynamism that exists in a single still moment.
