Susanna Heron (b. 1949 – ) hon FRIBA is a British artist who works primarily between drawing, sculpture, scale and movement. == Life and work == Susanna Heron was born in Welwyn Garden City in 1949. Her family moved from London to Eagles Nest, Cornwall in 1955. She is the younger daughter of painter Patrick Heron and Delia Heron (née Reiss〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cashewnut.me.uk/WGCbooks/web-WGC-books-1965-1.php )〕 ) and sister of architect Katharine Heron. She was educated at Penzance Girls Grammar School and studied at Falmouth School of Art 1967-68 and Central Saint Martins School of Art, London 1968-1971. Between 1966-83 Heron received international recognition as a major presence in British New Jewellery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vads.ac.uk/learning/designingbritain/html/tnj_body2.html )〕 Her works were not immediately discernible as jewellery instead Heron made a series of works which extended the body to articulate the surrounding space through movement and proportion. In 1977 Heron was awarded UK/US Bicentennial Arts Fellowship (British Council/N.E.A.) to travel and work in the USA for one year. In 1981 Heron made ‘The Wearables’ (Stedelijk Museum Collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stedelijk.nl/en/artwork/30253-wearable )〕), a series of works consisting of flat discs tied to the body. These were a group of works to be worn like clothing, or to be exhibited with the idea of wearing them. ‘The Wearables’ were exhibited on the wall alongside photographs created with David Ward and ‘offered a new meditation and reflection on the conditions for jewellery and body wear’〔 ‘The Wearables’ were the last works Heron made to be worn and led to a new beginning in sculpture. The peripatetic body continued to be the measure in her work. By filling the spaces for the body the works could no longer be worn and rather addressed the architectural qualities of the room. ‘Frieze’ 1983-84 (Papier-mâché and aluminium leaf wall piece 41 x 343 cm, height from floor 2.5m) was shown in her first sculpture exhibition at Whitechapel Art Gallery〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.whitechapelgallery.org/about-us/history/exhibitions-1950-present. )〕 in 1985. Followed by exhibitions at Plymouth Arts Centre (1986), The Showroom (1987), Camden Arts Centre (1989) and Newlyn Art Gallery (1992). Heron became involved in the regeneration of Will Arnold Forster's〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cornwallartists.org/cornwall-artists/william-edward-arnold-forster-0 )〕 garden at Eagles Nest in 1987. She exhibited a series of related works in 1992 including engravings on slate salvaged from pool tables, and Shima: Island and Garden a book and series of cibachrome photographs. (Arts Council Collection〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artscouncilcollection.org.uk/searchWorkByArtist.do?searchParameter1=Heron,%20Susanna&searchParameter2=1470 )〕) In 2002 Heron made the 'Elements' drawings a series of ink drawings originally made for a commission in Tokyo in 2001 but which have evolved as a body of work to be recreated and transformed by location, scale and substance. 'The 'Elements' drawings… are in a sense metaphors for scale and for time. Like mathematical systems, they are elements, essences, reproducible at any size. They can be used in the building in Tokyo, in a London street, on the walls of a gallery or as tiny prints. Like found objects they are transportable; but the experience of the works is specific, rooted in a particular time and place.'. In 2002 Heron exhibited 'Elements' a site specific installation of large scale wall drawings for the Warwick Arts Centre. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Susanna Heron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
