Suzanne Somer

'Zonder titel'

Suzanne Somer (1978) engages within the minimal and slow art movements. Her artistic practice centers around embroidering stains, exploring the interplay between form and content. These stains, originating from spontaneous applications of ink, symbolize themes of self-reflection and the subconscious.

Using these stains as an intuitive foundation, Suzanne seeks forms that resonate with her inner world. When a form resonates, she meticulously connects with it through cross stitches—a deliberate, slow and meditative process that symbolizes her personal quest for meaning and connection.

In her work, Suzanne investigates how these seemingly random stains can unveil profound inner truths. The contrasts between rough, unpredictable ink stains and precise, systematic cross stitches reflect the dualities of human existence—chaos and order, impulse and intention, subconscious and conscious.

Her art invites viewers to pause, slow down, and appreciate the beauty inherent in the process of self-reflection. By meticulously placing each stitch, Suzanne creates a space for contemplation and introspection, both for herself and her audience.

Each creation represents a journey through the inner landscape, inviting viewers to join in the exploration of discovery and resonance.
