Susan Dorothea White Bibliography

Humour, more pointed than funny, is the thread of continuity throughout Susan Dorothea White's art, regardless of medium. A case in point is 'The Long Arm of the Law'. It is created with exactly what the title states ... a very long black-robed arm extends out into the gallery room with a legal document in its hand! The table­ top sculptures are sophisticated and tit­illating ... 'Close-Knit Family', – family members' heads are 'knitted' together .. . 'To Cut Both Ways', - crossed scis­sor blades are sharpened on both edges ... 'Shy Egg' is attempting to conceal itself, and 'Stretching the Imagination' depicts distorted fea­tures stretched eye sockets.
