The Shape of Us

The Shape of Us is a study on shape, space, and quiet presence. Ceramics and paintings converse in arcs, planes, and edge, pared back to their essential geometry. In this distilled clarity, the everyday and the imagined converge, leaving only pure, quiet form.

Suzy O’Rourke is a multidisciplinary artist and ceramicist based on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.  With a background in millinery and interior design, Suzy’s creative practice explores the intersection of nature, form and simplicity, expressed through both handcrafted ceramics and original artworks. Her work is ground in a deep respect for natural materials and quiet design. Each piece presents an invitation to pause, connect and bring a sense of calm and beauty into everyday life. Drawing inspiration from architecture, the natural works and the emotional quality of space, Suzy’s aesthetic is minimal yet expressive, refined and yet organic. Whether working in clay or on canvas, Suzy creates with intention, guided by texture, tone and the quiet power of restraint.
