About the Artist
"Fiber & mixed media artist Susan Dillon under the persona ""su/q"" is an oddity among street artists. She neither creates murals nor uses spray paint, choosing instead smaller scale fabric sculptural installations as her medium. This encourages the viewer to redefine ""street art"" both in scale and content, and creates opportunities to engage in a different experience of street art as a whole. Her street art explores the cycle of life, growth & decay both in the urban environment and within the human experience in the form of plants, fungi, colonial-type life forms and other natural elements ""growing"" from and on the landscape, buildings, sidewalks, etc.
Susan has been a practicing fiber artist for over 20 years, and has been installing her street art as ""su/q"" since 2016. She was selected as a participating artist in the CRUSH Walls festival in Denver in 2018 & 2019."
