As a writer, I\u2019m increasingly interested in how fiber art and text overlap and intermingle. I\u2019m constantly seeking to marry method and technique with meditative practice,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1517175931988_8558\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20170830_160345.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-45435\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20170830_160345-350x382.jpg\"  alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"382\" \/><\/a>In 2018, this all-around artist will be teaching more fiber and writing workshops,\u201dmost notably at Fellow Shop in Salt Lake City and through Weber State University\u2019s Community Education program,\u201d says Susi. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to 2018 as a year to learn and share more skills. I see my work departing from the concrete and moving more toward the abstract and conceptual. I aim to research noise patterns, specifically the graphic manifestations of Perlin and fractal noise and am considering how to translate these gradients into embroidery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1517175931988_8559\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daniellesusi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">www.daniellesusi.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fiber artist, poet, improviser and producer of live performances around the country, Danielle Susi also teaches and performs weekly at The Comedy Loft in Ogden while working as\u00a0Art Gallery and Event Specialist at Salt Lake Community College.
