Author Description

Susan Dobson creates photographs, sometimes edited for effect, alongside video projection and large scale prints to glamorize and identify the quest for individuality suburbanites undertake in order to adorn their homes. Concepts of sameness contrasted with the quest for distinctiveness permeate her work, but the sense of the monotonous, repetitive design of suburbia is subtly subverted and elevated. Susan Dobson has participated in photography festivals including Contact (Toronto), Fotoseptiembre (Mexico City), Le Mois de la Photo (Montreal), Bitume/Bitumen (Brussels), and FotoNoviembre (Spain).
