About suzanne
I enjoy using print processes in unorthodox ways with unconventional materials together with the element of 'chance' and all the nuances of varying techniques, media and surfaces that can lead to unexpected events and therefore the often exciting surprise element of the resulting work.
As John Cage said: chance, when understood properly, still involves discipline
