About Suzon
I am a multidisciplinary artist. Last January, I made an installation 'e-Galaxy' at the State Library of Queensland in the Knowledge Walk, during the Holidays Fun Program. Adults and children from aged 8+ participated in activations and workshops. I was born in Brussels, Belgium, traveled a lot with my work, and arrived in Australia in 1996. (I have a strong French accent!) I have been awarded the 3-year Australia Council for the Arts Fellowship, a Copeland Fellowship at the Five Colleges in Massachusetts, a Fellowship at the Australian Choreographic Centre, and an Asialink Residency in India. In 2019, I was undertaking a major decluttering of my studio, and started opening up and stripping down my own old devices. I became intrigued by the exquisite electronics hidden inside phones, hard drives and other obsolete hardware, and was inspired to use the components as artistic materials. Since then, I volunteer e-Waste Connection (a social recycling enterprise), make imaginative original jewelry and wearable designs, artist books, videos and performance, giving new life to old devices that have been ethically collected from local sources. By transforming these components, I invite consideration of ethical and environmental issues, divert material from landfills and transform trash into treasure.

Learn how to safely dismantle electronic devices and make stunning jewellery with the components inside. This relaxing beginner-friendly workshop will transform and reveal the hidden world of intricate circuitry that powers our daily lives and inspire you to think about the impact of technology.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn

I offer an active reflection on the production process of electronic devices, planned obsolescence, disparity of goods, sustainability and recycling. Every component in devices has minerals that have taken millions of years to form that have been mined. 3 in 10 people globally do NOT have electricity, many of them work in those mines.

Suzon has a dedication and commitment to exemplary practice and always strives to bring curiosity, depth and layered knowledge to her work as a teacher, healier and mentor. I have worked with and employed Suzon within a. multidisciplinary creative practice and as a facilitator of community cultural development programs. I have found her to be loyal, astute and tenacious in ensuring engagement and outcomes within a safe and supportive environment.
I have known Suzon for many years a members of several creative arts communities and as health care practicioners and personal friends . I have attended many workshops run by Suzon and been a fellow participant in workshops on a range of topics. She is always knowledgeable articulate and very caring in her interactions with people . Suzon brings a wealth of experience and powerful healing energy to her practice of Reiki . A session with her always provides a sense of release from negative energy and a lifting of the spirit and a feeling of lightness which deepens if one allows the feeling time to act and also consider the changes one could make to assist the ongoing healing journey
Before leaving for a year away in France, my wife and I took lessons with Suzon. She taught us for a few hours a week, over several months.
Learning French with Suzon was highly rewarding. She had an excellent grasp of all components of the French language and was able to communicate ideas clearly. Her well-prepared lessons were both valuable and enjoyable to partake in.
I would highly recommend Suzon to anyone intending on learning French. Thanks to her, my wife and I were well set up to arrive in France with sound basic knowledge in the French language. MikeI have known Suzon for about 15 years. I asked Suzon to give my elderly, beloved cat Reiki a couple of times when Miao was not well. The reiki sessions clearly calmed the puss down and helped her relax and helped invite her to a peaceful state.
I have also worked on performance projects with Suzon e.g. I invited Suzon to create a promotional video and photos for one of my passion projects. The resulting video and photos were standout and very helpful in attracting interest in my work. Suzon is very organized and has an eye for detail. I find her visual aesthetic beautiful.I have known Suzon for more than twenty years, sometimes as a participant in a workshop and sometimes as a collaborator on artistic projects. She is a master of her craft and a patient but exacting teacher. If you are ready for a challenge then Suzon will be the perfect teacher to both support you AND push you into new territory. I highly recommend Suzon.
Suzon is amazing. She kindly gave me some Reiki sessions at a time I needed some positive energy & new perspectives on my life. She was so warm, calm and present I immediately felt I could just relax and enjoy being nurtured. The sessions gave me a sense of healing and of being supported by Suzon's strong presence & kindness. I think she would be an amazing mentor; she is so grounded and dedicated to her art and has such a generous spirit and enthusiasm to share her knowledge.
