Susan Collis

Susan Collis is a British artist known for her meticulous and deceptive works that blur the boundary between the precious and the mundane, often embedding gemstones and fine materials within objects that appear to be everyday, worn, or discarded items. Her practice involves extraordinary craft and labor hidden beneath surfaces that mimic accident or neglect, such as a paint-splattered dust sheet concealing embroidered pearls and diamonds. Collis has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, earning recognition for her conceptually rich explorations of value, attention, and the overlooked.
