Suus Agnes (NL) Cohabit: being parasite, 2020

View the full version of the work below on on the artist’s webpage.

What do you think about when you think of the sounds of water?

For a long time, water sounded like movement to me: splash, drip drip, gush, whirl. Ancient and timeless sounds. It never really occurred to me that water is filled with living sounds, secretive soundscapes very close to home. Any healthy freshwater body —even the smallest pond or stream— has the potential to host an orchestra where insects and other invertebrates are the players.

Suus Agnes is a tumbleweed who blows around and picks up bits and pieces encountered on her way. As an author-illustrator she makes visual narratives, and has shown them in diverse places like comics & zine festivals, exhibition spaces, anthologies, journals, and online platforms – first in New Zealand, then internationally. Her work takes an interest in human-nature relationships and unloved creatures, like insects.

    Wonderful watercolor images! And what beautiful streaks and contour lines! The views from underwater are especially successful.

    The naivety of the pictures made it possible to show quite unusual and even indecent, but quite natural processes that had not found artistic meaning before. Except for books on botany, and here we can say that this is a fascinating example of the development of the codex book format (the basic for us) for storing and transmitting information in e-books era.
