SUSAN WILLCOCKS<br />
Canada<br />
Young Canadian artist Susan Willcocks is<br />
currently studying Studio Arts in Montreal.<br />
As a teenager, she made a personal promise<br />
to use the impact of art to make a difference<br />
in someone’s world. Her works, in varied<br />
genres (drawing, painting, photography and<br />
sculpture), have been seen in solo and group<br />
exhibitions in various regions of her home<br />
province of Québec.<br />
Growing up in a small, multicultural village,<br />
Susan was immersed in two very different and<br />
often antagonistic cultures: Québecoise and<br />
Anglophone. Living in two distinct linguistic<br />
traditions during her formative years, she<br />
became intrigued by the concept of language.<br />
She observed that, while a language may<br />
be incoherent noise to a non-speaker, some<br />
sounds are universally recognisable: laughter,<br />
the sounds of joy and the sounds of sorrow.<br />
Music also has the power to transcend<br />
linguistic barriers, to be felt, experienced<br />
and lived by every single being<br />
on our planet. It creates a bridge for<br />
humanity, making the world one.<br />
Willcocks explores this theme visually in her<br />
works donated to the Acrylic Melody initiave:<br />
