Suzanne Northcott
Based in Langley, BC, Suzanne Northcott is an interdisciplinary artist. Always a painter, she has moved through video, installation and photography. She has collaborated with poets, biologists and artists in other disciplines. Recently, environmental and feminist concerns drew her to textile and hand stitching. Themes of swarm behaviour, migration and the relationship of the one to the many compel her. Influences include Gerhard Richter and Barnett Newman. Her work is held in private and public collections in Canada and worldwide.
