Susan Roux presents her latest installation – a series of large suspended monochromatic landscapes. The network of layered collages interrogate and meditate on the intricate web of human mobility and its profound influence on our interconnected world.

Roux’s skillful and meticulous intertwining of thread, cotton, wood and steel on photographic paper – plus her employment of repurposed aluminium from disused radiators – results in ‘tapestries’ that also bring warmth, luxury, and comfort.

Like the wall hangings of old, made of wool and silk threads, we are invited to contemplate the ebb and flow of global trade, the passage of time, and the cultural exchanges that shape our shared human experience.
