ABOUT
Sukhi's main disciplines are printmaking, collage and sculpture. She is also fond of the interdisciplinary, which often reaches outside the above.
Sukhi's work is characterised by careful composition and clean lines, many times incorporating elements of humour or the bizarre. Her main studio was until October 2017 located in Trondheim harbour, Central Norway. A new workspace has now been established in Copenhagen and on Møn in Denmark. |
ARTIST STATEMENT
" What do we perceive as balance? This has been a recurring theme in my work for the last decade. Regardless of whether the inspiration comes from day-to-day life or something more universal, there are basically two options: in or out of balance. In my work however, there is also often a twist.
I like combining abstract and figurative elements, something which in many ways reflects my approach. Handling both of those "languages" and making them work together in one outcome, means that I dive deep into every piece. It is like a challenge, where both the work and I get a platform to grow. I often work across different disciplines, but my primary focus is on sculpture, collage and printmaking. There is nearly always an obsessive focus on composition, regardless of material or subject matter. It may be characterized as a perfectionistic trait, so perhaps this is one reason why balance is such an exciting topic to me?" |
