Susie Losch is an artist based in North East Victoria, Australia.
Susie has been making art for more than 25 years and her work is regularly exhibited in solo exhibitions and group shows, community art projects and installations.
Her practice involves the construction of assemblages from materials that have an intrinsic history. Through means of casting or combining incongruous forms and objects, the message is not strident but injected with subtle humour. Influenced by the concept of play and the unknown, bodies of work emerge and are constantly evolving. They retain remnant memories, experiences and new observations from time spent travelling.
Losch is currently exploring air as a minimalist matter to inflate and deflate sculptures into form and movement.
