The pin cushion bra really
says it all. Hundreds of tiny,
decorated beads show on the
outside of each cup. A
frightening forest of sharp
pins pierce the inside.

Artist Statement for Susan Massucci
|
|
|
Born in Boston, MA. Graduated Cum Laude from University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a B.F.A in Printmaking.
My use of urban imagery began in 1992. At that time I studied the work of Romare Beardon (a collage artist) whose work lead me to my own collages and then to an obsession with city themes. I have always had a fascination for cities, New York City especially. My attraction to NYC is based foremost on architecture and man-made structures (such as light posts, crosswalk signals, traffic lights and one-way signs.) The "one-way" sign has become a distinguished feature in my fine art prints. I enjoy the rigidity of lines the structures create. Power lines and fences contain and reinforce the architecture: they act as a crutch. People are secondary to (and only implied through) the the structures themselves; they support the people. The city wallpapers the atmosphere. The buildings are repetitious patterns which formulate a backdrop for human existence.
I choose to work with imagery of older buildings, opposed to new ones, because I feel they tell a story. Aging buildings, surrounded by rusting fences have history in them. I enjoy depicting cityscapes, but I also like rural environments. This is evident in my barn series. I guess you could say I like working with the extremes despite the fact that I live in typical suburbia.
