Mae gan weithiau Susan Phillips allu diddorol i ddefnyddio ffurfiau syml i archwilio sail canfyddiad ac ysgogi ymdeimlad o botensial a phosibilrwydd. Yn ei hymchwiliadau, mae hi'n pwysleisio ailddyfeisio a newid, yn hytrach na chanlyniadau sefydlog, concrit. Yn hyn o beth, mae hi'n cadarnhau'r bardd a'r beirniad celf o Frasil, Ferreira Gullar, yn ei amddiffyniad o gelfyddyd a welai siâp, gofod a lliwiau fel "nid [yn perthyn] i'r iaith artistig hon neu'r iaith honno, ond i brofiad byw ac amhenodol dyn".

Susan Phillips' works have an intriguing capacity of employing simple forms to examine the very grounds of perception and evoke a sense of potential + possibility.

Susan Phillips’ works have an intriguing capacity of employing simple forms to examine the very grounds of perception and evoke a sense of potential and possibility. In her investigations, she emphasizes reinvention and change, rather than fixed, concrete results. In this respect, she corroborates Brazilian poet and art critic Ferreira Gullar in his defence of an art which saw shape, space and colours as “not [belonging] to this or that artistic language, but to the living and indeterminate experience of man”

Susan Phillips studied a BA(hons) at Falmouth College of Art and has exhibited throughout the UK. In 2014 she was awarded the Gold Medal for Craft + Design at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, as well as being shortlisted for the Soho sculpture prize.
In both 2016 and 2018 her work was long-listed for the aesthetica art prize and in 2017, won the VIA arts prize, the Ibero-American themed arts prize hosted at the Embassy of Brazil, London. Recently in 2020 Phillips’s work the highly commended at the Korean International Ceramic Biennale and exhibited as part of the International Kogei Award 2021 exhibition in Toyama, Japan
My work explores the relationship between material, space and perception, and the formal connections that emerge through process. As a sculptor, I work primarily with white stoneware clay to create intimate-scale forms inspired by architectural language. The sculptures are intended to be experienced both visually and spatially, engaging with ideas of balance, opposition and quiet tension.
