about


susannah is a maltese architectural designer & photographer who graduated from the university of malta with a special interest in social architecture, spatial agency & inhabitation.

in her photography, she shoots a mix of 35mm film & digital.
etrenally inspired by the maltese islands & their geographical landscape, her work expresses the language of ancient rock, cystal waters, crusty sea salt tracing constellations on one’s skin & the warmth of the sun. the architectural compositions these elements naturally form & people’s interaction with this environment become moments of presence & wonder. she seeks to tell the story of the sense of home this little floating rock encapsulates within the wider themes of mediterranean-ness & culture.

a collector of rocks, seashells, books & records, her other interests include beach-exploring, hiking, travelling & cooking (but more so eating).

information


2018
easa croatia, rijeka

         
addressing erotic triggers in human behaviour, this easa 2018 workshop seeks to re-evaluate and re-present self-referentiality through the city's ruins.









site visits & experience










personal work: final outcome

can the erotic emerge out of the personification of a ruin?

by means of a heightened awareness of emotion and bodily sensation, each ruin was imagined and expressed in terms of its characterising energy. using personification and conversation as tools, the erotic nature of the experience of ruins was brought to question.

the result is a series of writings and photographs overlaid by paintings.
