Sue Griffen • Fiber Artist
Sue was drawn to felting, nuno-felting and dyeing being inspired and fascinated with the endless possibilities of textures and color combinations when silk and other luxury fibers interact with dyes. While working, Sue says she feels like an alchemist who arranges elements whose inherent properties take over to create color, light and texture far more beautiful than she could have ever imagined or created. It is truly magical! Susan dyes her pieces using fiber reactive, acid or natural botanical dyes. Shibori resist techniques are used prior to the dye process to create interesting patterns. Sue has often expressed regret at not starting her fiber artwork years earlier. She now says “I have the understanding that all unfolds as it should. I have the time to pursue my art without the encumbrance of work. What a blessing!”
