Hair that unites the interior and exterior of a house. Eyes that sleep in aluminium and porcelain houses. Hearts hanging like garlands. Long tresses and bracelets like crowns. Porous identities like fabrics that float in space. The work of Mallorcan artist Susy Gómez can be understood as a powerful metaphor for the specifically female human condition. Made with a variety of materials, it displays a great ability to transform everyday and universal objects into sense activators. Isolated from all context and in their iconic bareness, the works reveal their essential condition as articulators of emotions, with their ability to suggest themes such as childhood and memory, interior and exterior, loneliness and bonding, truth and appearances. With recurring elements such as the eyes, the house and the heart, the artist’s direct language relates these objects to the place they occupy in the contemporary world. ‘El fluxe de l’amor’, ‘Sóc jo’, ‘Father Mother’,… Don't forget to read the titles, which reinforce the emotional content of the work of an artist who, as she has explained on numerous occasions, has never relinquished the gaze of her younger self.
