Susie MacMurray

Susie MacMurray is a British artist, living in Manchester, whose work includes drawing, sculpture and architectural installations.

Drawing is an important part of MacMurray's practice. In addition to her large scale pen & ink work she extends the possibilities of making drawings using unconventional materials including rubber tubing, hair and wax. She also makes pen & ink drawings on a more intimate scale and produces sculptural wall pieces and other work for private commissions.

I particularly like these simple pen drawings of a gauze bandage, on paper. The movement created and ability that MacMurray has to give the impression that the image is almost dancing is incredible; it really makes you question whether it is actually a drawing or a photograph. I find great similarity between the shapes and composition of Susie MacMurray's work and some of the ideas I've been developing.
