Devon and Barrott, 2003, wool needlepoint by Su Job from her soft porn series. Now part of our personal art collection.
Su passed away on Christmas Day at 7pm. She was a the lover of life, even until the very end. The article An Artist, Dying by Jen Graves captures her spirit. A beautiful tribute from her ex-borther in-law:
She was a woman alive with possibilities and so very many of them turned into realities—We all have ideas but Su made the wildest of them happen. I was constantly astonished with the breadth of her ability to turn water and rocks into the most amazing wine and virtue—and, sometimes, even money! When she had an idea there was no stopping her—from miles away she came to her workplace via any possible transport (or none at all) and started cutting and sewing. For Su Job, all of life was a happening which she willed, built and enabled. Sharing her vitality and energy was an empowering privilege—her smile, her dance, her flowing raiment from her own hands, the colors of her life lit us all up. —sam bledsoe
Goodbye Su. Much love.
