SUZIE MULLIGAN
Suzie Mulligan creates mixed media works that center on beeswax and oil paint, building each piece through a process of layering and excavation. The surfaces evolve through the addition of archival digital prints, found textiles, objects, and pigments, as well as through subtraction—carving, scraping, and incising to reveal what lies beneath. This interplay between concealment and revelation heightens texture, light, and depth.
Working intuitively, she responds to each stage of the process as it unfolds, allowing the materials themselves to guide the outcome. Her work often suggests elements of the natural world, emerging gradually through accumulated layers and gestures. Influenced by the Asian aesthetic she encountered while studying in Arita, Japan, her practice embraces simplicity, harmony, naturalness, imperfection, and a quiet, contemplative beauty.
