Piece description from the artist
Yes, Venus appears out of her floral shell to enter a very lively landscape where the Boing is perched precariously on the reindeer eagerly awaiting her appearance. The cat notices she is wearing one of Peggy Guggenheim's earrings and wonders what this means. It makes him smile. The poppies fall from the sky in honor of Venus.
Susan Medyn is an eco-artist whose practice bridges environmental art and interspecies collaboration. Using natural materials such as linen, rattan, seed heads, and beeswax from her own hives, she creates sculptural works in partnership with honeybees. Her art encourages reflection on our relationship to the environment and the fragile interdependence of all living systems. She has a long history of painting whimsical watercolors and nautical maps but turned to environmental art as a way to bring awareness to our fragile environment. She at times has up to 1,000,000 tiny studio assistants helping her with her sculptures.
Susan has exhibited locally, nationally, as well as internationally in Monaco, Poland, Belgium, Paris and the Loire Valley, France as well as in the USA . She participates in the annual South Coast Artists Open Studio Tours annually.
