Biography
Susan Mowatt is especially interested in weaving, and the significance it could have as an action in the 21st century. She gained an MFA in Tapestry from ECA and also has a PGCE from Moray House College of Education. After graduating she worked in the Frankische Gobelin Manufactur in Bavaria and later in the Victorian Tapestry Workshop in Melbourne, Australia as an invited weaver on the Federation Tapestry. Susan’s interest lies in the act of weaving itself: less on the artifact and more on the process. Recently her work has included live performances of weaving and unweaving in a gallery space (during a solo show at GalleryGallery, Kyoto) and an exploration of weaving through other media including drawing and moving image.
