Dana Suckling’s work exists at a cross-section between two and three dimensions and is driven by an exploratory material process. Her work is a snapshot of an evolving abstract terrain composed of organic forms with various tonal densities.

These multilayered images are rendered with poured resin and represent the interplay of accidents and intentions. Compositions are developed until they strike a visual balance between order and discord. They avoid definition but are redolent of celestial topographies, aerial photography and microscopic imagery. The seductive surfaces draw viewers to investigate and make their own associations with the ambiguous forms.
