Victorianna
Victorianna is approx 30 cm high and has a ribbon for hanging on your tree, door, wall or wherever you choose! He is hand sculpted creature by Suzanne, who makes each one as an individual. We enclose her hardcover catalogue/story with each piece and she has hand signed each.
Suzanne says of her work"The sentimentality and haunting nature of memory is the world Suzanne is drawn to. Beautiful things now decrepit, once cherished objects now paused in a parallel place, still existing but really inhabiting a long gone life. Her characters are the often anthropomorphic bridge between human and creature, the past and present, and truth or dream. A melancholic yet enticing longing for ornaments our past generations loved, but which seem strange and awkward now, and have miraculously outlived their owners. The stained and moth eaten fabrics, cracks and threads, shining eyes, all conglomerate to remind me of great grandparents time capsule dining rooms and Victorian grace now disintegrated."
Suzanne's story
I am Suzanne McRae. I graduated from the University of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts Ceramics. Over the next decade I moved into costume and fashion, operating shops and web businesses sewing for clientele near and far. Most recently I have returned to my beginnings in sculpture and ceramics, coupled with my textile experience, to create pieces which are finding a place in galleries and the homes of people who are transfixed by their character and charm.
