SUZANNE NORTHCOTT
Suzanne Northcott is an interdisciplinary artist working with installation, video, painting and drawing. She is interested in the shifting place where one thing becomes another, studying dreams and meditation and themes of transformation, decay, metamorphosis and migration. This interest in the space between also manifests in her continuing history of collaborative work with poets, scientists and artists in other genres.
Recent Exhibitions include “Crossing Boundary”, a video and sound installation at the Surrey Art Gallery exploring the phenomenon of the migration of thousand of crows from Vancouver to their communal roost outside the city
Northcott’s work is held in numerous collections including the Surrey Art Gallery’s public collection. She is a sought after lecturer, painting, drawing and creative process instructor. As workshop leader, Suzanne takes groups to Italy and Spain combining painting and yoga instruction with cultural excursions. She has been guest instructor at UBC, Capilano College, York University, Trinity Western College and the Langley Fine Arts School.
