Susie Olczak

(b 1988, United Kingdom. Lives and works in Cambridge)

Susie Olczaks work invites refreshing themes of time; climate change and urban development in the context of new technologies and digital culture. Particularly; she expresses a keen interest in the idea of adaptation. A perception of geometry; pattern; and light while moving through transitory spaces; such as corridors; underpasses; and the walkways between buildings. Olczak aims to make people more aware of the spaces around them by framing the details that are often overlooked. “I use architectural materials - neon; stone; glass; concrete and steel - combining these in my works to consider urban spaces as systems composed of balance; weight; and fragility.”
