About the Item

For many years Susan Squires goal has been to create encaustic paintings as meaningful, evocative experiences for herself and for the viewer. She wants them to be quiet meditations with thoughtful, psychological and spiritual implications. As a body of work, this has been underway for well over 10 years. Susan’s encaustic paintings are a collaboration in the sense that she is responding to the experiences of other creative thinkers. New possibilities evolve as she layers the wax over various printed material and forms. The act of combining two perspectives (theirs and hers) is primary. The enhancing, altering, or creating of rhythms and structures speaks to Susan of time transcended, and calls to mind the search for the meaning of our place in the Universe. The grid is a rational tool underlying some work. Often decisions needed to create the final structure, while based on the printed matter underneath, are actually intuitive. Full of obvious visual symmetries, there are other more elusive symmetries underlying the work, hidden ideas and philosophies. For Susan, Geometry, particularly Sacred Geometry, continues to be an inspirational companion. Even after numerous trips to Italy, she still finds surprising solace in the patterning of Italian Cosmatesque floors and the spatial quiet of cathedrals. A symbol of absolute enlightenment strength and elegance, the CIRCLE represents many things becoming one and is a metaphor for centering on essence. A connection between historical ideas and modern thinking is a theme Susan is developing in all the work. Susan’s work has been referred to as “ poetic interpretation of subtle states of being, which address the mind/bodyspirit connection.
