All that the Eye can See

Suzanne Davey is a visual artist based in Sydney, Australia. She works principally in sculpture, installation and public art, and has exhibited widely in gallery, public and natural spaces. By creating spatial ensembles from textiles, ceramic, natural and everyday materials she aims to examine fragility in natural systems, social vulnerability and struggles and inter-relationships between people and spaces they inhabit.

Her work often investigates physical and emotional interface zones where ruptures and dis-ruptures can occur. Performative qualities in her works respond to moments of transition and transformation. Site research and tactile material investigations are integral to her practice.
