Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The loop form featured in this work symbolizes humans. I think of family trees and that the traditional branching is often insufficient in articulating how a family 'grows'. I tend to think of a family as a haphazard construction with lots of mending and tearing. The title ('mother' - shortened from 'the mothers') is found in the work, from an old book page. This piece reflects on how the family structure seems to spring from the mother, the matriarch of a family, and her sphere of influence. Other materials in this piece include jean fabric, the inner spine material of an old book, and monotypes.

Susan Smereka was born and raised outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and now has lived in Vermont, USA for over thirty years. Smereka graduated from Concordia University, Montreal with a BFA in 1994. Whether working at the etching press with ink and collage, writing and bookmaking, or video installation, Susan is interested in the concepts of disorganization and order around experiences of inner experiences and those of family relationships. How these, seemingly opposing energies reconciled, or not, continues to spurn her artistic process for 40-plus years. Smereka co-founded 'new new art studio' in 2020 with her partner Kevin Donegan. 'new new art studio', Burlington, Vermont, is a space for teaching, exhibitions, and the creation of fine art.
