Subway Sonnets | Original Mixed-Media Art
Rooted in the visual language of New York City, Susan Washington's Subway Sonnets series explores the stories we leave behind and those we carry with us. Through layers of collage, typography, gesture, and weathered surfaces, each original painting develops its own narrative, with fragments and details that reveal themselves over time.
From expressive urban abstractions to a newer exploration of classical figures set against contemporary street imagery, the series moves between different visual languages. Some works suggest narratives through fragments of text, imagery, and memory; others invite viewers to discover their own meaning within the layers. Throughout, the work explores the relationship between the timeless and the temporary.
Beyond the stories within the paintings themselves, Susan also creates personalized commissions, incorporating meaningful words, memories, and private references into original compositions. The result is a painting that stands on its own as fine art while quietly holding a story uniquely yours.
