Bodice

Not only is Suzy a bronze sculptor, she’s also an accomplished costume designer and tailor. In this piece, her two art forms combine into a sculpture inspired by historical clothing. Originally, The Bodice was a hollow sculpture that stood alone, hinting at a human form without depicting it. Later, Suzy decided to try something else. She grew plants around and through the sculpture, allowing the foliage to evoke the form of a voluminous skirt and sleeves around the solid form of the sculpture itself.
