Susan Forsyth: Goldplay 

Jacob's Ladder II

‘I use traditional techniques and invented frameworks to explore strength and delicacy in sculpture. Time honoured modes of making and display are gently disrupted: large maquettes are displayed as finished works.’

Susan Forsyth is inspired by the relationship between form and space and works to challenge public perception through her large scale geometric forms of intersecting planes.

The RBS Sculpture Forecourt features Jacob's Ladder II, an eight metre high site specific aluminium work glided in 22 carat gold leaf installed against the façade of the building.

“Susan Forsyth combines experimental processes and traditional sculptors crafts in ambitious objects bringing together precious and base materials, the abstract and the everyday, to create a kind of magical modernism” Donald Smith, Director, Chelsea Space
