Keywords: Feminism, textile, quilt
Artist Biography:
Susan Lenz describes herself as the daughter of German immigrants, a soul mate of a wife, a failed mother, a homeowner, an avid traveler, a custom picture framer, a college graduate, and the servant to an adorable cat. Yet, she is first and foremost, AN ARTIST. Using needle and thread, Susan works with an overall theme toward a mixed media installation. She stitches both by hand and machine and indulges a passion for book arts and 3D found art objects. Altering found photos is an obsession. In another life, Susan is convinced she was a kidnapper whose fixation with letters snipped from assorted, antique ephemera continued into her current life and studio practice. Stained glass windows, decorative building motifs, and even aerial views of urban cities inspire Susan’s custom framed, decorative fiber art series. Each piece is a collage of synthetic fabrics with metallic foiling, free-motion machine embroidery and unique melting techniques developed by the artist. The substrata is recycled felt that was once the packaging material for a kayak being shipped from a distributor to a retail outlet. Each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation inspired by the colors and shapes of Austrian Freidensreich Hundertwasser's eco-friendly buildings and his concepts of individualism. Susan’s work has appeared in national publications and juried exhibitions and at fine craft shows including the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Smithsonian Craft Shows. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Textile Museum in Washington, DC and the McKissick Museum in South Carolina. Susan is represented by the Grovewood Gallery in Asheville, and her solo shows and installations have been mounted all over the country.

- Nike's Advice XVIILocated in Boston, MAArtist Commentary: This work was started several years ago during a public art performance called Nike's Advice. I painted 130 feet of unprimed canvas with the public. It was scary! I don't consider myself a painter. I was having to accept Nike's Advice myself ... as in "Just Do It". Later I used my sewing machine to free-motion stitch around the paint, adding detail. Finally, the work was mounted on a stretcher bar with blue painted edges before being coated with UV filtering epoxy.
