Sue Kasdon

My work depicts a private world populated by cats and older women, set in imaginary spaces that are rich in texture and pattern. I like to portray older women, a group all but invisible in popular culture. Even when a figure is not included, the presence of domestic cats and personal objects suggest aspects of her habitation.

The inclusion of common household products in some of these insular scenes serves to bridge the gap between the imaginary and real realms.

The surface of the clay is ideal for drawing, impressing, incising, and painting. The result produces a permanent, frozen moment in time.
