Suzanne Holtom: And Hills Bore Scars

Until Sun 29 Jun View Venues, Dates & Times

“During the pandemic, I lost my dad,” explains Suzanne Holtom, “and as a result, my trips back home to the West Midlands became far more frequent. It was this continuing return to my original home, contemplating and experiencing this embodied landscape, that initiated a new direction in my work.”
A deep mapping of place - encompassing geological time, personal experiences, social histories and memory - has become the primary motivation in Suzanne’s art. 

The paintings featured in And Hills Bore Scars - which draw from ‘geosites’ in the Black Country Global Geopark - contemplate bodily forms, land masses, histories, patterns of energy and industry, layered materiality and shifting terrains. 

Visitors to the gallery on Saturday 10 May can join Suzanne for a printmaking session and a tour of her exhibition.
